About this work

This painting is a long, horizontal piece divided into three sections. It's painted on gold leaf and features many people in different scenes. Some are on boats, while others are in buildings or on land. The painting is very detailed, with many small figures and objects. It's hard to tell what's happening in each scene, but it looks like some kind of story or legend.
