Three figures, one blue-skinned, seated on a large pink lotus in a green landscape with trees
Detailed Description
The painting is a horizontal rectangle framed by a thick red border. The central scene depicts three figures in a green landscape. The ground is a uniform light green, with two large trees flanking the scene on the left and right, their dark green foliage extending upwards. Between the trees, a lighter green canopy of leaves forms an arch, and above it, a narrow strip of light blue sky with white cloud-like patterns is visible. In the foreground, a large, multi-petaled pink lotus serves as a seat for the three figures. The lotus has prominent orange and pink petals, with some green stems visible beneath. The figure on the left has light skin, a slender build, and wears a skirt made of dark green leaves. They are seated with their legs crossed, their left hand raised with fingers slightly curled, and their right hand resting on their lap. They have dark hair styled in a topknot with a green ornament. The central figure has blue skin and is also slender. They wear a similar dark green leaf skirt and are seated cross-legged on the lotus. This figure wears multiple necklaces, armbands, and a green head ornament. Their right hand is raised, pointing towards the figure on the right, while their left hand rests on their lap. The figure on the right has light skin and a distinct monkey-like face with a prominent snout. They wear a golden crown and a dhoti-like garment in shades of orange, white, and gray. This figure is kneeling on the lotus, with their hands pressed together. All three figures have large, almond-shaped eyes and delicate facial features.
