About this work

This painting shows a grand, ancient-looking temple with a staircase leading up to it. The temple is made of stone and has intricate carvings and statues on its walls. People in robes are gathered around the base of the staircase, some sitting and others standing. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The stone walls of the temple are depicted in warm, earthy tones, while the robes of the people are shown in cooler, more muted colors. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
