Two robed figures, one holding a staff, stand in a muted landscape with tall trees
A vertical painting depicts two robed figures in a muted landscape dominated by tall trees. The overall color palette is earthy, with shades of brown, tan, green, and red. On the left, a larger figure stands, facing slightly right and looking downwards. This figure is bald with a light complexion and wears a green outer robe over a reddish-orange inner garment and a lighter tan undergarment. Their left hand is visible, holding an indistinct object. To the right and slightly lower, a smaller figure stands, facing the larger figure and looking upwards. This smaller figure wears lighter robes with a prominent red sash draped over their right shoulder and arm. They hold a long, thin red staff, pointing its lower end towards the ground in the lower left. In the upper right, several tall, dark-trunked trees with dark green foliage rise in the background. Lighter green bamboo-like stalks are visible behind the larger figure. The ground is uneven, with a raised area for the larger figure and a lower area for the smaller figure, rendered with dark brushstrokes suggesting rocks and sparse vegetation in the foreground. The background is a plain, muted brown.
