A seated figure in white robes against a mountainous landscape with a waterfall and trees
Detailed Description
The image depicts a central figure seated in a natural landscape. At the top, a black rectangular panel contains numerous columns of small, light-colored text. Below this, a figure is seated cross-legged, facing forward, wearing flowing white robes. The figure has light skin, blue hair, and red markings on the face. An elaborate gold and white headpiece adorns the head, with blue elements and dangling ornaments. A gold necklace with a central pendant rests on the chest. The hands are held in a gesture at the chest level. The figure is positioned on a dark, rocky outcrop covered with patches of green foliage. Below the rocks, stylized waves of water are depicted in shades of green and white. Behind the figure, a large, pale circular halo extends upwards. The background features a mountainous landscape with a waterfall cascading down a mountain on the left. Dark green trees with sparse foliage are scattered across the mountainsides. The overall color palette includes muted greens, browns, and grays for the landscape, contrasting with the bright white of the figure's robes and the gold and blue accents.
