Detailed Description
This wide, horizontal painting shows a continuous scene set against a gold background. Large, irregular gold cloud-like forms divide the composition, separating distinct areas of activity. On the far left, a green landscape features tall mountains and a waterfall flowing into dark, calm water. Several figures, dressed in long robes of various colors, walk along paths and gather near the water's edge. Pine trees with dark green needles and brown trunks are scattered throughout this natural setting. Towards the center, a large, multi-story building with a brown tiled roof dominates the middle ground. Its light-colored walls are punctuated by open sections revealing interior scenes. Inside, numerous figures are seated on red carpets or standing, engaged in various activities. Some figures are visible on upper balconies, looking down. Around the building, more figures walk on paths, some under flowering trees with white blossoms. To the right, the scene continues with more outdoor areas and sections of the building. Figures are seen ascending and descending stairs, and others gather in groups amidst more green trees and gold cloud formations. The figures throughout the painting are depicted in long, detailed garments in shades of red, blue, green, white, and brown. The overall scene shows many figures across a large building and its surrounding landscape.
