Visual Summary

Brief Description

A landscape scene with a large building complex, multiple figures, and a two-wheeled cart

Detailed Description

The scene is dominated by a large complex of buildings with red pillars and dark green-tiled roofs, occupying the right and central midground. The color palette primarily features shades of brown, green, and red. The main structure on the right has multiple tiers, with figures visible within its upper and lower levels. To the far right, a smaller building with a green roof houses several seated figures. In the central midground, a dirt-colored expanse stretches leftward from the buildings. A two-wheeled cart with a red canopy is pulled by two figures, one in red and one in green attire, with a seated figure inside the cart. Another figure in a red robe walks ahead of the cart, facing left. The background consists of rolling hills or mountains in shades of green and brown, with some darker blue-grey areas and white, cloud-like shapes. In the upper left, faint figures are visible within a tent-like structure.
