Brief Description
A multi-panel screen painting: an outdoor scene with people, buildings, and a bridge on gold
Detailed Description
This six-panel screen painting features an active outdoor scene set against a gold-colored background. The composition is filled with numerous small figures, buildings, and natural elements across its entire width. The leftmost panels depict large, open-sided structures with people gathered inside and around them. Some figures are seated on raised platforms, while others stand or move through the open spaces. Green trees and foliage are interspersed among the buildings and crowds. In the upper left, more buildings are visible, with figures appearing to move in an organized manner. Towards the center, the scene continues with more multi-level buildings and elevated walkways. A prominent set of stairs leads up to a structure, with groups of people ascending and descending. Pine trees with distinctive, flat-topped branches are scattered throughout the landscape. The gold background serves as the ground and sky, with darker green and brown areas indicating terrain. The rightmost panels feature a cluster of buildings with dark roofs and white walls. A large, white arched bridge spans a dark blue body of water, with many figures crossing it. Below the bridge, several figures are depicted in the water, some appearing to be swimming or in small boats. More people are gathered on the banks of the water and around the buildings. The figures are dressed in various colored garments, including reds, blues, greens, and browns.
