Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a landscape scene. The upper portion features a blue sky filled with white and grey clouds. In the background, distant blue mountains rise above a wide body of turquoise water, which stretches across the middle of the scene. Along the far coastline, a stone tower and other structures are visible. In the midground, a large, dark green tree with a thick trunk stands on the left, its branches extending upwards. To its right, a smaller tree with lighter green foliage is positioned. On the lower left, a large, bright orange and yellow fire blazes from a bush, emitting white smoke. In the foreground, a man kneels on the earthy ground, facing towards the burning bush. He wears a red cloak draped over his shoulders and a light-colored garment on his lower body. His right hand is raised to his forehead, and he holds a long staff in his left hand, resting it on the ground. Several white sheep are gathered near his feet and behind him on the right. The ground is a mix of greens and browns, with some sparse vegetation.
