Visual Summary

Brief Description

A large seated figure with a golden face and red robes, with two smaller figures above

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular painting depicts a large, seated figure against a predominantly red background. The central figure is seated cross-legged, facing slightly to the right, with a golden face and body. The figure wears voluminous red robes, some sections of which are adorned with intricate gold patterns. A dark, possibly black, undergarment is visible on the figure's left arm. The figure's right hand holds a small, red, heart-shaped object, while the left hand rests on the lap. A golden halo encircles the head, and a larger golden aura with a red outline surrounds the body. In the upper left and right corners of the red background, two smaller, seated figures are depicted within arched niches. These smaller figures also wear red robes and have golden faces. The main figure sits on a red cushion decorated with gold patterns. Below the cushion, a multi-tiered decorative base extends across the bottom of the painting. This base features horizontal bands of geometric and floral patterns in shades of red, gold, green, and black. The central part of the base includes a dark, rectangular section with small, colorful floral motifs. Within the lower decorative band, two small, stylized animal figures, possibly yaks, are visible, one on each side of the central dark section.
