Visual Summary

Brief Description

Three ornate figures, one large and two smaller, on swirling clouds against a plain background

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts three figures, one large and two smaller, against a plain background, all rendered in grayscale. The largest figure is positioned centrally in the upper half, facing forward with a slight smile. This figure wears an elaborate, tall, flame-like headdress with a pointed top and a wide, ornate base. Its body is adorned with intricate patterns on the torso, arms, and a long, flowing lower garment that extends downwards. The hands are held together in front of the chest. Below this large figure, two smaller figures are depicted kneeling on swirling clouds. The figure on the left faces right, with its back partially visible, and appears to hold two lotus buds on a stem over its shoulder. It wears a simpler, pointed headdress and patterned clothing. The figure on the right faces left, with its hands held together in front of its chest, similar to the large figure. It also wears a simpler, winged headdress and patterned attire. The clouds at the bottom are rendered with distinct swirling patterns, providing a base for the two smaller figures.
