Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts a procession of figures on horseback moving through a mountainous and forested landscape. The color palette is dominated by earthy browns, ochres, and dark greens, with accents of red, pink, and light green on the figures and their horses. On the left side of the midground, a large, textured rock formation, rendered in shades of brown and ochre, is prominently featured. Several figures on horseback emerge from behind this formation, moving towards the right. Some of these horses are light-colored, and one carries a light green saddle cloth. The riders wear long robes in muted colors, with one prominent figure dressed in pink or red. Long, white, ribbon-like streamers trail behind some of the figures and their mounts. In the right midground, a tall, dark tree with a gnarled trunk stands prominently, its branches extending upwards and to the left. To the right of this tree, two more figures on horseback also proceed to the right. One rider is dressed in a red robe, and another in a green robe. The background features rolling hills and mountains, rendered in darker, muted tones, receding into the distance. The foreground consists of rocky and uneven terrain. The entire painted scene is framed by decorative patterned borders along its top and bottom edges.
