Brief Description
A landscape with tiered buildings, trees, hills, and a prominent reddish-orange circle in the sky
Detailed Description
The horizontal landscape painting is rendered primarily in muted brown and green tones, with reddish accents. In the upper right, a prominent reddish-orange circular shape is visible against a brownish sky, appearing as a sun or moon. Below and to the left of this, a series of architectural structures, possibly buildings or terraces, are depicted. These structures feature reddish-brown walls and some green or teal-colored roofs or details. They appear arranged on different levels, connected by what seem to be pathways or staircases, also in reddish tones, extending diagonally across the middle ground. Throughout the landscape, scattered green elements suggest trees or foliage, particularly on the undulating hills in the background and around the structures. The background features hills or mountains, rendered in muted greens and browns, blending into the sky. In the far left, additional architectural forms are visible, continuing the theme of tiered structures. The painting exhibits a textured appearance and shows signs of cracking or wear. A small, square red seal is present in the bottom right corner of the painted area.
