Brief Description
A lush landscape with a wide river, figures, animals, and a man in a cave
Detailed Description
A wide river flows diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, separating two lush, dark green landmasses. On the left bank, a figure dressed in a red and gold patterned garment sits on a patterned rug, facing right. Next to the figure, a white horse with red and gold adornments stands. Behind the figure and horse, a dense forest of trees with large green leaves and some with purple blossoms rises into the background. The river is a light blue-grey, with two small, green islands. Each island is populated by several white birds. In the river, several figures are visible: a person in a red garment sits in the water, another figure with a white turban is partially submerged, and a person rides a white animal, possibly a horse or bull, also in the water. Further down, a small boat carries multiple figures. On the right bank, a dense forest of dark green trees with some purple blossoms covers the landscape. In the upper right, a multi-tiered white palace-like structure is partially visible behind the trees. In the lower right, a bearded man with light skin and a bare torso sits cross-legged on a yellow mat within a cave-like opening. He wears a simple orange cloth around his waist. Below him, several white birds stand near the water's edge. Numerous small black and white birds are perched throughout the trees on the right bank.
