Full syntactic analysis

Hi,

I have a few questions concerning a sentene i'm supposed to give a full syntactic analysis of.

The sentence:

"He bought a box of colors and copied a magazine lithograph of a Japanese painting of Fujiyama."

Is this a compound sentence, if not, what kind is it?

How should it be analysed at clause and phrase level?

Thanks!

Alexander
