This is a painting of abstract figures and animals. The artwork depicts a series of abstract shapes and figures representing a procession or a group of people and animals moving together. The color palette is limited to shades of red and white, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. In the foreground, there is an abstracted animal walking alongside the figures. The figures are loosely rendered with hints of garments and cloaks, maintaining a certain indistinctness. The painting has a sketch-like quality with swift brush strokes and minimal detailing, evoking a feeling of spontaneity and liveliness. This is in the style of Paul Gauguin.
