Figures under a large tree, with mountains, a river, and a boat in a landscape
Detailed Description
The painting depicts an outdoor scene with a central group of figures under a large, leafy tree, set against a backdrop of mountains, a river, and a distant field. In the center, an older, light-skinned man with a white beard and hair, wearing a yellow robe, sits on a red cushion inside a small, straw-colored hut-like structure formed by the tree's roots. He gestures with his hands. To his left, a dark-skinned man with a green leafy crown and a bow sits on a green mat, facing the older man. Next to him, a light-skinned woman in a red veil and orange garment sits, also facing the older man. To the left of the dark-skinned man, a light-skinned young man with a green leafy crown and a bow and quiver sits on a green mat, facing the older man. In front of the older man, on the ground, are small objects and a small fire. To the older man's right, two more figures sit on the ground, facing him: a young, light-skinned man in a purple garment, and an older, light-skinned man with white hair and a beard, wearing a brown garment. The central group is on a grassy slope. Behind them, to the left, is a dense area of green trees and bushes with some pink flowers. To the far left, a wide, light blue-grey river flows, with a long, narrow boat carrying several small figures. The landscape is dominated by large, rounded, light brown and green mountains. In the upper right, a light green field with many small, light-colored oval shapes is visible, with a small hut nearby. The sky is a pale blue-grey at the top. The entire painting is framed by a dark blue border and an outer reddish-brown border with small speckles.
