Multi-panel painting of an outdoor scene with many figures, elaborate buildings, and natural landscapes
This wide, horizontal painting, divided into eight vertical panels, depicts a sprawling outdoor scene populated by many small figures and elaborate structures. The overall color palette is muted, featuring greens, browns, reds, and blues against a light tan background. On the far left, green mountains with a visible waterfall rise in the upper section. Below, a walled compound with several buildings, including one with a prominent green-tiled roof, contains a few figures. A small bridge crosses a body of water. Moving right, a large central courtyard area is densely populated with numerous figures, many dressed in colorful robes of red, blue, green, and white. Some figures appear to be interacting in groups, while others hold their arms in raised positions or stand individually. Several large trees with dark green foliage and brown trunks are scattered throughout this area. A large, open-sided pavilion with a white roof stands centrally, also filled with figures. Further to the right, more buildings with green-tiled roofs and red accents are visible. A tall, multi-tiered pagoda-like structure with a green roof is prominent. Courtyards and pathways connect these structures, which are also populated by many figures, some seated inside buildings and others outdoors. The scene continues to the far right with a cluster of buildings featuring green and blue roofs located among trees. Distant, lighter-colored hills form the background. The image depicts intricate architecture and varied activities within a natural setting. The ground is primarily a light brown or tan, and the sky is a pale, light tan or cream color.
