Detailed Description
The image is a vertical ink and watercolor painting on light-colored paper, depicting a solitary figure seated outdoors under a flowering branch. The background is a plain, light beige. In the upper left corner, there is black calligraphic text arranged vertically, accompanied by two red square seals. The text reads: "停琴舉酒對梅花飲金吉金". Below this, a smaller red rectangular seal is visible. The central figure, seen from behind, is a person with dark hair pulled up, wearing a long robe. The robe has a dark upper section, a light pinkish-orange middle section, and a light grey or white lower section. They are seated on a patch of green ground, facing towards the right. Their right arm is bent, holding a small white cup or bowl. To their left, a dark, elongated object, possibly a musical instrument, rests on the ground. To their right, a dark, lidded vessel with a handle is visible. Above and to the right of the figure, a dark, gnarled branch extends diagonally downwards from the upper right corner, with smaller branches bearing scattered pink blossoms. The ground beneath the figure is rendered with horizontal strokes of green and light brown, suggesting grass or uneven terrain. In the lower left, a small cluster of dark green foliage is depicted.
