A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts people with light to medium-light skin tones across stacked architectural layers. In the foregrounded dark water, a blue-skinned man on a white horse greets three figures on a terrace. To our left, two figures sit in a red boat. A red wall with grilled windows supports a multilevel white palace with domes. Receding into the background, a dark forest sits below a streaked orange sky.
