Brief Description
Monochrome ink drawing of a bamboo grove, a building with figures, and a winding path system
Detailed Description
A monochrome ink drawing depicts a detailed landscape scene. On the left, a dense bamboo grove fills the upper and middle sections, with numerous slender stalks and delicate leaves rendered in fine lines. To the right, a large, open-sided building with a dark, sloped roof is situated on a raised platform. Inside this building, four figures are seated around a low table. One figure is on the far left, another in the middle, and two on the right. Below the main building and near the edge of the bamboo grove, a single figure walks on the ground. A winding path or bridge system with railings descends from the main building towards the lower left. Part of this path is covered by a small, open-sided structure with a sloped roof. At the bottom left, a small, enclosed structure with a dark, sloped roof and a door is visible, connected to the path system. A narrow body of water flows from the middle right towards the bottom right, bordered by sparse vegetation. The entire scene is rendered in fine black lines on a light background. Two red square seals with characters are visible in the bottom right corner.
