A vertically oriented fabric painting depicts a large, light-skinned central figure wearing a yellow pointed hat and orange robes. He sits cross-legged on an ornate throne, flanked by two smaller figures at the base. Receding into the background, a green landscape is densely filled with white buildings and dozens of tiny, robed figures. The composition features a palette of warm reds, oranges, and muted greens, with a teal halo behind his head.
