Brief Description
A painting depicting multiple figures, two deer, and a landscape with gold accents
Detailed Description
The vertical rectangular painting depicts a multi-scene composition with gold leaf accents at the top and bottom edges. The upper portion shows an interior setting with two figures seated on a light brown floor. The figure on the left wears a brown outer robe over a green garment and a blue patterned lower garment, with long black hair. This figure faces right. The figure on the right wears a white robe with blue and red patterns over a dark garment, also with long black hair, and faces left. Behind them is a green wall, and to the far left, a white screen with a grid pattern is visible. A light brown sloped surface, possibly stairs or a ramp, extends from the right side of this upper section. The lower portion of the painting transitions to an outdoor scene with green, undulating hills on the left. Two deer are positioned on these hills; one stands upright, while the other kneels or lies down. Both deer are light brown with white spots. To the right of the deer, on a light brown ground, are two more figures. The figure on the left kneels and faces right, wearing a white robe with green and red accents, and has long black hair. This figure's hands are slightly raised. Opposite this figure, another figure kneels and faces left. This figure wears a dark green patterned robe with white and red accents and a black, structured headwear. The overall color palette includes muted greens, browns, whites, and blues, with touches of red.
