About this work

This painting shows a wide, flat view of a city with a river cutting through the middle. On the right side, there’s a big fort with tall walls and towers. Trees line the riverbanks, and people are scattered around—some walking, others riding horses or carriages. The colors are soft and muted, with light blues, browns, and pale greens. The fort looks like the main focus, standing out against the rest of the city. The painting is stretched out like a long scroll, giving a full look at the landscape.
