Brief Description
Two figures grappling in a vibrant landscape with women, pots, and distant buildings
Detailed Description
A vertical, rectangular painting depicts a vibrant, multi-layered landscape scene with figures. In the foreground, two large, stylized figures are engaged in a struggle on a light green ground with scattered pinkish-purple rock formations. The figure on the left has reddish-brown skin, a white beard, and two dark horns protruding from its head. It wears an orange and purple patterned garment and appears to be holding a plant or staff in its mouth while grappling with the other figure. The figure on the right has blue skin with light spots, a white necklace, and a shock of orange, spiky hair. It also wears a patterned garment and grapples with the first figure. Behind them, a winding path with small plants is visible on the lower left. In the mid-ground, three women are present amidst lush green trees with varying leaf patterns, some bearing yellow fruit. The woman on the far left stands, dressed in a red and orange patterned draped garment with a yellow top and necklace. To her right, two women converse, each balancing a brown pot on her head. They wear patterned draped garments, one in blue and orange, the other in green and orange. Pinkish-purple hills rise behind these figures and trees. The background features a light blue sky with two white birds flying. On the far left, white multi-storied buildings, possibly a village or temple complex, are visible. On the right, more green trees and several white animals, resembling cows and egrets, are scattered across the landscape.
