A large central seated figure surrounded by smaller figures in a multi-bordered green and dark blue painting
Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting features a highly structured composition centered around a large, light-toned figure. The central figure is depicted seated with legs crossed and hands resting in its lap on a multi-layered lotus throne, with a prominent halo behind its head and shoulders. It wears flowing robes in shades of red, green, and gold. Flanking this central figure are two smaller, standing figures, each with a halo, dressed in similar ornate attire. This central trio is set against a dark blue background adorned with a repeating pattern of light-colored dots. Surrounding this central blue panel is a wide border filled with numerous smaller standing figures, arranged in multiple rows and columns against a vibrant green background. These figures are depicted in various poses, wearing colorful robes with gold accents. Beyond this green border, a narrower, reddish-brown band contains even smaller figures, some appearing to be in procession or engaged in dynamic actions. The outermost edges of the painting are a dark, muted green-brown, with faint, swirling, lighter forms visible in the upper corners, resembling clouds or stylized creatures. The artwork features intricate visual elements and a palette dominated by greens, blues, reds, and gold.
