Women in colorful robes populate a multi-level building, a garden, and a pond
Detailed Description
The scene depicts numerous women, a multi-level building, a pond, and a garden, set against a gold-flecked background. A large, blue pond occupies the upper left, its surface marked with wavy lines. Below the pond, a sandy-colored ground area extends to the lower left. Several women are depicted in this area, some kneeling or walking, dressed in long, patterned robes of white, green, and red. A small garden with white and red flowers and green foliage is visible in the lower left. To the right and center, a multi-tiered wooden building features open platforms, staircases, and sections with green railings and black lattice screens. The building's structure is light brown with green accents. Many women are positioned throughout the building, sitting or kneeling on its various levels. Their long black hair is visible, and they wear flowing robes in shades of gold, green, red, blue, and white, often adorned with intricate patterns. Some women appear to be interacting, while others are engaged in individual activities, such as holding a red flower or a fan. A small, dark green bush is situated at the base of the building on the lower right. The entire scene is framed by a textured, gold-flecked border, particularly prominent at the top and bottom.
