Brief Description
Circular painting: multi-story building complex with curved roofs, trees, rocks, and a steep cliff
Detailed Description
The artwork is a circular painting depicting a detailed landscape with architectural structures. The dominant feature on the left side is a large, multi-story building complex with multiple tiered, curved roofs. The buildings are rendered in muted tones of brown, grey, and dark green, with subtle red accents on the roof edges. Balconies and walkways connect different sections of the complex, and small figures can be discerned on these elevated platforms. In the foreground, below and to the right of the buildings, are gnarled trees with dark green foliage and large, blue-grey rocks. To the right, a steep, textured cliff face rises from the bottom edge, extending upwards towards the top right quadrant. This cliff is depicted with vertical striations and varying shades of green and brown, giving it a rugged appearance. Further into the background, on the upper right, faint, tall, and narrow rock formations or distant mountains emerge from a misty, light brown atmosphere. The upper left and central areas of the circular composition are largely open, filled with this same muted, light brown tone, suggesting an expansive sky or atmospheric haze. A rectangular red seal with illegible characters is visible in the upper left quadrant of the painting.
