Visual Summary

Brief Description

A painting with a central seated figure, surrounded by many small scenes and a detailed landscape

Detailed Description

A vertically oriented painting features a central figure seated with legs crossed, surrounded by numerous small scenes set within a detailed landscape. The central figure has golden-toned skin, blue hair, and wears a red robe. It sits on a multi-layered, pink and white lotus-shaped base. A green circle encircles the figure's head, and a larger orange oval shape radiates behind the body. Above the central figure is an elaborate, tiered canopy adorned with gold and red, flanked by large pink and red lotus blossoms and swirling white clouds. Below the central lotus-shaped base, two smaller figures in orange robes stand facing inward, holding small, indistinct objects. The surrounding landscape is composed of rolling green hills, dotted with trees, streams, and numerous multi-tiered buildings with red roofs and golden accents, resembling pagodas. Throughout the painting, small groups of people are depicted in various activities within and around these structures and in the open landscape. Some figures are seated, others are standing or walking, and some appear to be interacting. In the lower left, a scene includes several cows. The sky is a light blue with white clouds. The dominant colors are greens, reds, golds, and blues, with white and pink accents.
