Vertical painting: multiple figures in an interior scene above an outdoor scene with a kneeling figure
Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a multi-scene composition with several figures. The upper section shows an interior setting with a large, light-skinned figure seated centrally on a white chair, wearing a red robe and a white head covering. This figure is positioned behind a dark, rectangular table. To the seated figure's right, two smaller figures stand behind the table. One wears purple robes and holds a thin, dark object to their mouth, while the other, in green robes, holds a dark rectangular object. Both have dark complexions and dark hats. The background behind them is a plain brown wall with hints of green and red architectural details. The middle section of the painting, positioned below the table, depicts a dark-skinned figure in a dark brown top and white pants standing on the left, holding a long, thin object. To the right, two other dark-skinned figures are in an active pose; one stands in white clothing, holding another figure who lies on the ground, also in white. The ground in this middle section is a textured mix of brown, white, and reddish-brown forms. The lowest section of the painting features an outdoor scene. A dark-skinned figure in red and white clothing, with a blue headpiece, kneels or crouches on the right. This figure holds a long, thin object, possibly a spear or arrow, extending towards the left. On the left side of this lower ground, scattered reddish-brown and white shapes are visible. The overall background of the middle and lowest sections is a plain, muted brown. The entire artwork is bordered by a patterned gold frame.
