Brief Description
A hunting scene with figures on horseback, a tiger, deer, and a walled city
Detailed Description
The image depicts a hunting scene set in a hilly, green landscape with a walled city in the background. The composition is divided into several tiers by undulating hills and a red-patterned wall. In the upper left, a white and red striped wall of a city or fort stretches across the horizon, with small figures and deer visible within the green expanse below it. In the upper center, a procession of figures on horseback moves rightward. A central bearded figure, dressed in gold and blue, rides a white horse and holds a falcon, shaded by a large pink umbrella held by an attendant. Other figures on horses and on foot accompany him. In the lower left, a hunter on a brown horse, wearing a blue and pink outfit, draws a bow, aiming at a grey deer leaping to the right. Below the central procession, a red wall with white patterns runs horizontally. In the lower right, another hunter, seated on a patterned rug under a tree, aims a bow at a striped tiger that approaches from the right edge of the image. Several saddled horses, including a light brown one in the lower center and a light blue one in the lower right, stand or graze. Green trees are scattered throughout the landscape, and the sky is a pale blue.
