Visual Summary

Brief Description

A central figure sits on a lotus, surrounded by numerous smaller figures within a framed composition

Detailed Description

The artwork is a vertical rectangular painting featuring a large, light-skinned figure seated centrally in a meditative posture. The figure has a calm expression, with downcast eyes, long earlobes, and a small red dot on the forehead. They wear an elaborate crown, multiple necklaces, armbands, and a simple garment, all detailed with red outlines. A large, flame-like halo, primarily red and white, frames the figure's head. The central figure is seated on a multi-layered lotus throne with petals in shades of red, green, and white. To the immediate left and right of the central figure, two smaller, standing figures are depicted within oval frames. These figures are also light-skinned, adorned with jewelry, and hold their hands in specific gestures. Above and to the sides of the central figure, a grid-like arrangement of numerous smaller, seated figures fills the upper and side portions of the painting. These figures exhibit varying skin tones, including light beige, green, and light blue. Some are depicted within individual arched frames, while others are grouped. At the very bottom corners of the painting, two tiny, seated figures are visible, one on each side. The background behind the central figure is a dark green, and the entire composition is enclosed within a dark, narrow border. The overall palette is dominated by muted tones of beige, red, green, and blue.
