Detailed Description
A vertical painting, framed by a patterned gold border, depicts a multi-tiered scene. In the upper section, a room features a large, light-colored chair. A central figure with a beard and a green and gold hat sits in this chair, wearing a grey robe with red trim. He is positioned at a dark desk, which is covered by a red patterned cloth and holds several papers. To his right, a figure in a green robe and black hat reads from a blue book. Behind him, another figure in gold armor and a red tunic stands, holding a staff. Below the desk, a more active scene unfolds. On the left, a figure in a blue robe holds another smaller figure. In the center, a figure in white and red clothing appears to be striking or dragging a prone, pale figure on the ground. To the right, a horned, red-skinned figure in a red patterned robe kneels, holding a stick. The lower half of the painting transitions into a dark, smoky, or cloudy realm. On the left, a green-skinned, blue-robed figure with a red hat is amidst a swirling mass of pinkish-red, flame-like or cloud-like forms. Several emaciated, pale figures are visible in various states of distress or movement within this dark realm, some appearing to be pulled or struggling. The overall color palette includes muted greens, reds, blues, and greys against a dark background in the lower half.
