Detailed Description
This wide, multi-panel painting features a complex scene set against a shimmering golden background, depicting numerous figures, predominantly women, within an elaborate architectural and garden environment. The composition is divided into several distinct areas by buildings, walkways, and lush foliage. On the far left, a group of women stands, some holding trays or objects. Their robes are in shades of white, red, and green. Below them, another woman kneels near a small, light-colored animal. A large, dark green leafy plant stands prominently in the center-left. Moving right, an elevated, ornate wooden balcony or walkway spans across the upper middle section, with figures visible on it. Below this, a figure is positioned near a small, light-colored animal on a green-tiled ground. Further right, a building with patterned screens and a red roof is visible in the upper background. The right side of the painting shows an interior scene within a building, where several women are gathered. Some are seated around a low table, appearing to play a board game, while others stand nearby. Their garments display a range of colors including white, green, red, and orange. To the left of this indoor scene, a small child-like figure in a red robe stands on a green ground. Throughout the painting, various green trees and shrubs are interspersed with the golden background, and architectural elements are rendered in dark browns and reds.
