Brief Description
A landscape with gold clouds, green mountains, water, bridges, buildings, and small figures
Detailed Description
A sprawling landscape scene is dominated by large, undulating gold clouds that separate and frame various elements. Dark green mountains and dark blue-black water form the background, with smaller, lighter green hills appearing behind or within the gold clouds in the midground and foreground. In the lower left, a group of small figures stands near a cluster of green pine trees beside the water. Further right, a collection of buildings with gray roofs and light-colored walls is nestled among the gold clouds and sparse trees. One building has a red interior visible. The midground is traversed by two long, light-colored bridges spanning the dark water; the bridge on the left is arched, while the one on the right is flatter. Small boats with figures are visible on the water near the bridges. On the land between the bridges, a group of figures, some in red and white garments, are gathered. More figures are seen walking on paths or near buildings throughout the scene. Towards the upper right, another complex of buildings is visible, with one structure featuring an open interior revealing a white and gray patterned screen. A figure in red walks nearby. The upper left and center show more green mountains and dark water, with a small, dark circular object, possibly the moon, visible in the sky above the mountains in the upper center.
