Bearded man, dog-headed woman, deer, and a hut in a forest clearing
Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts a natural landscape scene with figures, framed by a dark border and a wider, textured reddish-brown border. In the foreground, a grassy clearing features two seated figures. To the left, two light brown deer, one lying and one standing, with small horns, are positioned near a large green tree. In the center, a man with a long white beard and hair, wearing a light pink loincloth, sits cross-legged on a low, dark brown platform. He holds a white scroll or document in both hands, his head turned towards the woman. To the man's right, a woman with a dark, dog-like head and human body sits cross-legged on the grass, facing him. She wears a dark blue shawl over an orange skirt and top, adorned with gold jewelry on her arms and neck, and her hands are raised in a gesture. Behind the man, a small, conical hut with a straw roof and a dark opening is visible, with a light brown pot on the ground outside. The midground features a dense forest of green trees with dark trunks behind the figures and hut. In the background, rolling green hills with some bare patches rise against a light blue sky, with a few bare tree branches visible among the hills.
