Detailed Description
The horizontal image, rendered in muted tones of brown, beige, and dark grey, depicts a landscape scene with multiple figures, trees, a prominent cloud of smoke, and a section of vertical text. The left portion of the image features a sloping terrain, possibly a hillside or mountain, that runs diagonally from the upper left towards the lower right. Numerous small trees with dark grey foliage are scattered across this landscape, appearing on the slopes and in the flatter foreground areas. Several figures, depicted in simple, long robes, are distributed throughout the scene. In the upper left, a single figure walks towards the right. Further right and slightly lower, two figures stand near a cluster of trees. In the middle ground, a group of three figures is seated or kneeling, facing right, amidst more trees. Below them, two figures walk towards the right. On the far right of the landscape, a large, billowing cloud of light grey smoke rises from the lower right corner, partially obscuring the hillside and extending upwards. A small figure is visible near the base of the smoke, which appears to originate from a fire. The rightmost section of the image is a solid vertical block of light brown, containing several columns of dark grey vertical text. The text reads: "其各歡蕉祭並九月霜十月將稱明酒斯饗日殺羔羊露被公堂七月". Below the text, a small red square seal impression is visible.
