The subject matter of this painting involves a view of a pagoda from a distant with hills on the background. In addition, a large tree and other smaller towers are depicted in this painting. The artist uses a complementary color scheme of green and red shades which dominate the painting. These colors establish lighting and stability as they create the aspect of simultaneous contrast. The green shades appear to be brighter while the red shades appear to be darker. The pagoda and the hills are covered with shades of purple and blue to create illusion of space and depth as we approach the background. The dominant form is the pagoda. Dominance is achieved by arrangement of forms and centralization. Pagodas are places of worship in Buddhism. This painting also serves as an aesthetic.
