Multi-panel screen with numerous figures in a golden landscape, trees, buildings, and stylized clouds
Detailed Description
This six-panel screen painting features a vibrant landscape rendered primarily in gold and various shades of green, populated by numerous small figures. The background is dominated by a shimmering gold surface, textured with a subtle pattern, from which stylized, dark green cloud-like formations emerge, separating different areas of the scene. The ground is depicted in dark green, interspersed with lighter green and brown sections that suggest paths and cultivated fields. Across the entire composition, hundreds of figures are scattered, engaged in various activities. On the far left, groups of people are gathered on the green ground, with several tall, dark green pine trees rising behind them. Further right, a multi-tiered pagoda-like building with a dark roof and light-colored walls is visible amidst the green landscape and gold clouds. In the central panels, long processions of figures move along brown paths that wind through fields. Towards the right side of the screen, the scene becomes more densely populated. Large groups of figures are gathered under prominent flowering trees, which bear white blossoms. Many individuals are seated on bright red rectangular mats spread on the ground. The figures wear long robes in colors such as white, blue, red, brown, and black, adding small bursts of color against the dominant gold and green palette.
