Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a complex scene with multiple figures, transitioning from an indoor setting at the top to an outdoor landscape at the bottom. The upper half features a large, dark-framed opening with a green wall on the left adorned with white flowers on a vine. A man in a green robe and black hat stands on the left, holding a light-colored scroll. To his right, a prominent figure with a dark beard and an elaborate hat is seated at a dark wooden desk. This figure wears a black and red robe and gestures with his right hand, while his left hand rests on the desk near some papers or books. A large, light-colored chair is visible behind him. The background behind the seated figure is a muted, dark landscape. Below the desk, several figures are in motion. On the right, a grey-skinned, horned figure in a red robe holds a blue object. To its left, two smaller, pale, human-like figures appear to be struggling or moving quickly, one with a patterned sash around its waist. Further left, a large, oval, light-colored object stands vertically, displaying faint, indistinct imagery on its surface. The lower third of the painting transitions to a rocky, sparse landscape with dark, scattered foliage. A large, muscular figure with an intense facial expression dominates the lower left. This figure wears a red and green patterned garment and has multiple arms, holding two swords in its upper hands and other objects in its lower hands. It stands atop a long, white, serpentine creature with a winding body. Small, dark, indistinct figures are visible in the landscape to the right of the serpentine creature. Faint, illegible vertical text is present on the lower right side of the painting.
