Detailed Description
This wide, horizontal painting, composed of six panels, depicts a bustling outdoor scene with numerous figures, horses, and structures set against a shimmering gold background. The upper portion features large, irregular golden cloud-like shapes and green hills. On the far left, several brown-roofed buildings are nestled among green trees, and a red gate-like structure with two vertical posts and two horizontal crossbeams stands nearby. Groups of figures are scattered throughout this area, some seated, some standing. In the upper-middle, a long, dark boat filled with many figures, some holding red and white banners, moves across a blue-green water area. A long, dark wooden bridge or fence-like structure extends horizontally across the entire width of the painting, positioned slightly below the vertical center. Figures are seen walking on and around this structure. Below it, numerous figures on horseback are depicted in dynamic poses, appearing to move quickly. They wear colorful garments in white, blue, red, and green. The lower section also features golden ground and green trees, with more groups of figures visible, some seated in small enclosures, others standing or walking. The overall composition is densely populated with figures and structures.
