Signed A.Fitol 23. Five figures on a red ground — two yellow-haired women in the upper centre; in front of them a third figure with white hair (almost a mother figure), her turquoise-blue dress the compositional centre of gravity. On the left, a cat seated in a red-framed window/door opening, a yellow bird in the same section, another bird in the lower right, and another woman's profile in the lower right. One of the 'multi-figure + animal' compositions often seen in Fitoloğlu's late-period work. The red ground here provides a dramatic emotional tone, while the turquoise dress offers a contrasting calm. A work standing on the boundary between family portrait and allegorical scene.
