Brief Description
Multi-armed figure with flames, two seated figures, and a walking figure in a mountain landscape
Detailed Description
A mountainous landscape with several figures is framed by a gold border with a brown floral pattern. On the far left, a large, multi-armed figure with an intense expression and red hair stands on a cloud-like form. This figure, dressed in green and white garments, holds a spear in its right hand and a bow in its left, with red flames emanating from its back. Below this figure is a large green pine tree. The background features a body of water with small, tree-covered islands. The right side of the painting shows a series of green and brown mountains and hills. On a prominent rock formation in the mid-right, a figure with long white hair and a golden robe is seated. Below and slightly to the left of this seated figure, a bald figure in an orange robe sits on the ground, holding a long, thin staff. In the lower left foreground, a smaller figure in a red garment walks towards the center. Several trees with green foliage are scattered throughout the landscape. Vertical black inscriptions on white rectangular panels are visible near the multi-armed figure on the left, near the small figure in red in the lower left, and near the seated figure on the right. The characters on these panels are not clearly legible. The overall color palette includes greens, browns, and light blues for the landscape, contrasted with vibrant reds, oranges, and gold for the figures.
