Detailed Description
The image is a wide, horizontal painting featuring an expansive, detailed landscape of a town or city set against a dominant gold background. Swirling gold clouds or mist separate areas of green hills and mountains that rise in the upper sections. A dark, winding river or canal flows horizontally through the middle ground, crossed by several arched and flat bridges. Numerous buildings of various sizes and styles are scattered across the scene. Many structures have white walls and dark or red-tiled roofs. Prominent buildings include multi-story structures with tiered roofs, large complexes featuring red pillars and green roofs, and smaller buildings lining the streets. Some buildings are elevated on platforms, accessible by stairs. Thousands of small figures populate the scene, engaged in various activities. They walk along streets, cross bridges, and gather in courtyards. Some figures are in groups, while others travel individually. Carts and other forms of transport are also visible on the thoroughfares. The gold background contrasts with the green landmasses and dark water bodies.
