Detailed Description
The painting depicts a multi-scene composition with figures engaged in various activities. The upper portion features an indoor setting where a central figure, dressed in a blue robe and an elaborate hat, sits behind a dark desk. The figure holds a brush and appears to be writing on papers laid out on the desk, which also holds an inkstone. Behind the seated figure is a large, light-colored chair, and a partially visible figure in a purple garment stands to the right. To the left of the desk, a figure in a green robe stands facing the desk, while another figure in blue armor holds a long spear. The background wall is a muted green-brown, framed by red and green architectural elements. Below the desk, a red patterned cloth with floral motifs hangs. In the mid-ground, a scene depicts a struggle. On the left, a figure in white and red attire grapples with a brown, ape-like animal. The figure's body is contorted as they engage with the creature. To the right, a smaller figure in a dark robe stands near a brown, bull-like animal with horns, which stands facing left. The lower third of the painting depicts an outdoor, earthy ground with sparse patches of green. Here, a figure in red and blue armor rides a small, light-colored animal that resembles a dog or deer. Two other smaller, dog-like animals are scattered across the ground, one in the center and one further right. The overall color palette includes muted greens, browns, blues, and reds.
