Brief Description

Three figures in patterned robes on green and gold stylized landscape with pine trees

Detailed Description

The artwork features three figures in a stylized setting with a gold background. The composition is divided by diagonal bands of green and patterned surfaces, creating distinct areas. In the upper right, a figure is seated, facing left. This figure wears an orange robe with a white and green floral pattern, and a white undergarment. The surface they sit on is green with a geometric pattern, and behind them are green leaves with small red flowers. In the middle left, a figure is seated, facing right. This figure wears a white robe with a circular floral pattern in white and gray, and a black cap. They sit on a plain green surface. Below and to the right of the white-robed figure, another figure is seated, facing left. This figure wears a green robe with a diamond pattern. They also sit on a plain green surface. Between these figures and in the background are sections of gold, interspersed with stylized green pine trees and dark vertical elements. Some sections feature brown panels with white, wavy lines, which appear to be decorative screens or barriers.
