Brief Description
A golden landscape with red-leafed trees, mountains, a waterfall, and small figures
Detailed Description
A landscape features a gold background covering the upper two-thirds of the panels, with visible vertical lines. On the left, a gentle, undulating brown hill rises from the bottom edge, topped by several small trees with red-orange foliage. The ground below this hill is a lighter, sandy brown. Towards the center, the gold continues, interspersed with more subtle, lighter brown hills in the mid-ground. The right side is dominated by a prominent, darker brown mountain or cliff face. A white waterfall cascades down its side, appearing as a narrow, vertical stream. Several trees with red-orange leaves are scattered on and around this mountain, some clinging to its slopes, others at its base. Below the waterfall, the landscape flattens into a lighter brown area. In the bottom-center, a winding path or riverbed is visible, along which several small, dark figures, possibly people or animals, are depicted moving. Adjacent to this path are a few small, dark, vertical structures resembling fences or posts. The rightmost panels continue the gold background, with additional subtle brown hills and a few more scattered red-leafed trees.
