People and numerous foxes in a verdant landscape with a prominent building
Detailed Description
The image depicts a scene with a building, several human figures, and numerous foxes set within a green landscape. The scene is viewed from an elevated perspective. On the left side, a verdant landscape with rolling green hills and a winding stream occupies the lower half. Above this, a raised wooden structure with a slatted roof extends across the upper left. Beneath and around this structure, many reddish-brown foxes are depicted in various states of movement, some running across the green ground, others appearing on or near the wooden platform. Three figures, dressed in white robes and black headwear, are seated on the green ground in the lower left, facing towards the right. In the central and right portions of the image, a building with a raised platform dominates. A person wearing a blue robe with intricate white patterns is seated inside the building, facing right. The building features green walls, a roof adorned with small green circular motifs, and a window with a blue and white diamond pattern. Below the building, more green landscape is visible. On the far right, three more figures, similarly dressed in white robes and black headwear, are seated on the ground, facing left towards the building. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, browns, whites, and blues, with accents of gold.
