Interpretation / Description

This is most likely a copy of #94271, done by a later artist. This is because of the identical composition and design with a different color palette and slightly lesser skill of brushwork.

Because we have four other paintings in this set, this suggests that they are all copies of an original set which included #94271, but no other examples from this original set have been found yet.
