A panoramic landscape with a thatched building, figures, and horses traversing rolling green hills
Detailed Description
A horizontal, multi-panel painting depicts a panoramic landscape scene. The background is a warm, muted golden-brown, appearing as a hazy sky or distant ground. Green hills of varying sizes and shapes rise across the landscape, some topped with darker green foliage or trees. On the far left, a large building with a prominent thatched roof and light-colored walls stands. Several small figures are seated or standing inside and around the building. To the right of the building, a cluster of green pine trees with distinctive rounded tops grows on a small rise. Further right, a group of figures, some on foot and some leading pack animals, traverses a path between rolling green hills. Towards the center-right, the landscape features darker, steeper hills and what appear to be rocky outcrops or cliffs. In the lower right quadrant, a group of figures on horseback, accompanied by others on foot, moves across the terrain. A prominent tree with white blossoms stands on a green hill in the mid-right, its branches spreading wide. Further to the right, another group of figures on horseback and on foot continues across the landscape, with more green hills in the background. The figures are small in scale relative to the landscape, rendered with dark outlines and minimal color.
