Brief Description
Six-panel screen painting showing people, animals, and landscapes in a continuous rural setting
Detailed Description
A six-panel screen painting is presented horizontally, with each panel separated by a vertical gold border. The overall color scheme features muted browns, greens, and beige, accented by brighter green hills and white or light-colored garments on the figures. Rolling hills and stylized clouds in earthy tones form the background across all panels. Beginning at the far left panel, groups of small figures engage in various activities. The first panel shows figures near a wooden structure, possibly a bridge or platform, with other figures positioned below. The second panel depicts figures in an open landscape; some appear to be on horseback or interacting with animals. The third panel prominently features a large, dark animal, possibly a boar, being transported by several figures. Other figures are scattered around, some appearing to hunt or move through the landscape. The fourth panel shows additional groups of figures in a landscape setting, with green hills visible in the upper right. Fence-like structures are also present. The fifth panel transitions to scenes with more architectural elements, including buildings resembling houses or temples, with figures both inside and outside. Prominent green, rounded hills rise in the upper portion. The sixth and final panel on the far right depicts an interior scene within a building, where several figures are seated and interacting. Other figures are visible outside the building, set against a backdrop of green hills and trees. Diagonal lines and overlapping elements create a sense of depth and continuous movement across the composition.
