This 18th-century tile panel, painted in cobalt blue on a white background, depicts two nobles by a river, dressed in typical attire of the period, engaged in a possible conversation or negotiation. In the background, an urban landscape can be seen, along with a small dock with boats, suggesting a port or riverside setting. The scene is framed by an ornate border with vegetal motifs, characteristic of Portuguese Baroque tilework. This type of representation was common in decorative panels used in the interiors and exteriors of residences and public buildings, reflecting the daily life and social activities of the period.
