A confluence of the great beauty of both the upper and the lower range of the Himalayas. Along the background of this painting runs a series of inhabitable peaks of roughly the same height. But for the snow-capped peaks glimmering in the sun, they are dark and formidable to look at.
The foreground is a-lush with life and motion. A pair of verdant ridges floating amidst thick, colloidal mist. Coniferous plants dotting the foothills. A series of homes with sturdy, thatched roofs with laundry drying in the verandah. Afore those houses, a rice plantation in full bloom. The women bend over calf-deep in the waters, picking the harvest with love and gratitude.
Packed skilfully into the canvas is a wealth of detail. For example, the flora are clearly distinguished despite the scale and distance at which they are executed. The same goes for roof and window and enclosure of each home in the composition.
