About this work

This painting shows a scene from a legend. There are many figures, some with multiple arms, and they are all crowded together. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and tans. In the center, there's a woman with many arms, and she's standing on something. There are other figures around her, some with animals. It's hard to tell what's going on, but it looks like a big battle or celebration. If you want to learn more about paintings like this, check out the Detroit Institute of Arts.
