Brief Description
Figures in a building and garden, partially obscured by large golden cloud-like forms
Detailed Description
The image depicts a scene within and around a building, presented from a high vantage point. Large, irregular golden cloud-like shapes dominate the composition, obscuring parts of the scene. The upper right portion of the image shows the interior of a building with green floors and white walls. A figure in light blue robes is visible, seated or kneeling, facing towards the left. To their right, another figure in light blue and black robes is seen from behind, with long dark hair, seemingly moving or kneeling on the green floor. This area features patterned screens and architectural elements. In the upper left, another section of the building is visible, also with green floors and white walls, and what appears to be a garden with white flowers. A figure in dark robes is partially visible, looking towards the right. The lower left section reveals an outdoor area with green ground, two tall, slender blue and white posts, and green pine-like trees. A dark, rounded shape, possibly a rock or a person's head, is at the base of these posts. The golden cloud-like forms are textured, suggesting gold leaf or paint, and they frame the various vignettes of the scene. The overall color palette includes greens, blues, whites, and the prominent gold. A small, circular red seal with white characters is present in the lower left corner, outside the main artwork area.
