Visual Summary

Brief Description

Monochrome drawing of a central seated figure on a lotus throne surrounded by many smaller figures

Detailed Description

A monochrome drawing, rendered in sepia tones, depicts a scene centered around a prominent seated figure. This central figure, positioned in the upper middle, has a halo behind its head and is seated on a multi-tiered lotus throne. Its hands are held in a specific gesture, and it wears flowing robes. Flanking the central figure are two standing figures, each with a halo and elaborate headwear, dressed in detailed garments. Below these standing figures, two more figures are depicted in active poses, also with intricate clothing and possibly holding objects. The composition is filled with numerous smaller figures, some with halos, appearing to float amidst swirling cloud-like forms. These figures are arranged in layers, extending from the sides and top of the central group. The artwork is characterized by fine line work and subtle shading.
