Brief Description
Four robed figures in a landscape with a building, fence, and water
Detailed Description
A scene depicts four robed figures within a landscape setting, rendered in a muted color palette dominated by ochre and earthy tones. The background is a light, warm ochre, with several irregular, cloud-like shapes in a slightly darker, reddish-brown hue scattered across the top and middle. On the far left, a figure kneels or sits, facing right. This figure wears a long, flowing robe primarily in shades of pink and light green, with a red undergarment visible at the bottom. Long, dark hair is visible. Behind this figure, a dark blue body of water is visible, bordered by a light brown bank and a vertical wooden post. In the center, another figure stands, facing the kneeling figure. This figure wears a long, loose-fitting green robe over a light blue garment, and a tall, dark cap. A dark object, possibly a sword hilt, protrudes from the waist. Behind this figure, a tall, light brown fence or screen extends diagonally upwards to the right, with green, leafy plants growing on it. To the right of the standing figure in green, a third figure sits on the ground, facing left. This figure wears a white robe and a dark, pointed cap. Next to this sitting figure, a smaller figure is partially visible, wearing a red garment and a dark cap, with a red fan-like object in front. Behind these two sitting figures is a dark green, rectangular structure with a peaked roof, adorned with small yellow star-like shapes. A white, flowing fabric hangs from the top of this structure. Below the sitting figures, a dark, wavy, fan-like object rests on the ground. Further to the right, small green pine-like trees are depicted on a light brown ground.
