Detailed Description
This vertical painting features multiple figures against a muted brown background with lighter, swirling cloud-like patterns. At the top center, a large figure sits with legs crossed, wearing a long, flowing red robe with a white undergarment. The figure has dark hair pulled back, a small dark ornament on the forehead, and hands clasped in front. To the left and slightly below, a standing figure with a shaved head wears a long, multi-layered robe in shades of brown, red, and blue, holding a long, thin object in their right hand. To the right of the central figure and slightly lower, another figure sits, adorned in an elaborate, patterned robe with a headdress. The figure's hands are positioned near a tall, leafy plant with several red flowers in a pot, which is centrally located in the lower half of the composition. Below the plant, two smaller, child-like figures stand facing each other. The figure on the left wears a green garment with flowing blue ribbons, while the figure on the right wears a blue garment with similar ribbons. The overall color palette is dominated by earthy browns, muted reds, and subtle greens and blues. The figures are arranged in a roughly triangular composition, with the largest figure at the apex.
