The forested area stretches over the mountain ranges, coming up just behind the building which is placed in the distance to the viewer.

They are placed in the middle at an opening in the gate. Another figure is on the right edge, riding a dark brown horse. the fourth figure is standing next to the building, too far to paint details.
