Two men in a bare tree, surrounded by black bears in a barren, hilly landscape
Detailed Description
The image features a wide red border, followed by a thin blue line, a yellow band, and another thin blue line, framing a scene of a hilly, arid landscape. In the center, a prominent, light-barked tree with no leaves extends upwards. Two men are seated in its upper branches. The man on the left wears a blue tunic, an orange turban, and blue pants, sitting cross-legged and facing right. The man on the right wears an orange tunic, a red turban, and red pants, with a green halo around his head. He also sits cross-legged, facing left, holding a small, light-colored bowl or object. Below and around the tree, at least five black bears are scattered across the light brown, rocky terrain. One bear sits directly at the base of the tree, looking upwards. Another bear is positioned to the left, walking uphill. Further to the right and lower down, two more bears are visible, one walking and another partially obscured by the terrain. A fifth bear is in the lower right corner, walking towards the right. The background features rolling, light brown hills dotted with sparse green bushes and numerous bare, spindly trees. A deep, dark ravine with more concentrated green foliage is visible on the left side. A light blue sky appears at the very top.
