Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a central, light-skinned figure seated on a lion, surrounded by a vibrant sky filled with swirling clouds. The upper portion of the image features a deep blue sky adorned with numerous stylized clouds in shades of pink, green, yellow, and white. Above the central figure, an elaborate, multi-tiered canopy structure, decorated with small hanging figures and banners, is suspended amidst the clouds. The main figure, positioned centrally, has calm facial features and light skin. A large, circular green halo frames its head, and a smaller, golden halo encircles its body. The figure wears an ornate crown, multiple necklaces, and flowing robes in rich blues, reds, and golds. Its long, dark blue hair cascades over its shoulders. The right hand is raised with the palm facing outward, while the left hand rests on its lap. The figure sits cross-legged on a highly decorated platform, which is placed on the back of a large, brown lion. The lion, facing towards the right, has a dark, shaggy mane and a slightly open mouth. It is adorned with decorative harness elements in blue, red, and gold. To the left of the lion, a smaller, light-skinned figure kneels on the green ground, looking upwards towards the central figure. This kneeling figure wears colorful robes in red, blue, and gold. The ground beneath the lion and kneeling figure is a muted green, interspersed with subtle cloud-like patterns.
