Detailed Description
A landscape scene shows three figures in a wide blue river. The background features a soft, light brown-tan band, suggesting a distant mountain range or hazy sky. Below this, the river stretches across the midground, interspersed with irregular green and brown landmasses or islands. In the foreground, the bright blue water shows white concentric ripples around the figures and is dotted with small yellow flowers on green stems. In the center, a person with light skin and a tall black hat sits atop a light-colored horse. This person wears a green robe with a patterned design. The horse is adorned with red and purple saddle blankets and harnesses. To the left of the horse, a person with light skin, wearing a white robe and a black hat, stands in the water, holding a long, white, staff-like object with a red tie near the top. To the right of the horse, another person with light skin, dressed in a red robe, also stands in the water, holding a shorter, dark staff.
