Figures in robes within a multi-level building, featuring garden elements and a large screen
Detailed Description
The scene depicts multiple figures dressed in robes and hats within a multi-level architectural setting that includes garden elements. The overall color palette is dominated by muted browns and greens, with accents of red, blue, and white. In the upper left, a wide, light brown diagonal structure, possibly a ramp or staircase, ascends towards the top edge. Below and to its right, a railing runs diagonally, enclosing a section with green foliage and what appear to be small, light-colored structures. A red, rectangular lantern with multiple tiers hangs in this area. On the right side of the mid-ground, a large, rectangular screen with a detailed, monochromatic landscape drawing is visible. In front of this screen, on a raised platform, two figures are seated at a low table. One figure, on the right, has a long dark beard and wears a dark robe and hat. The other, to the left, wears a green robe. Various small objects, including books and containers, are on the table. To the left of this platform, a single figure stands facing right, wearing a dark robe. The lower half of the image shows several figures on the ground level. On the far left, a figure in a light brown robe is partially visible. Next to them, two figures stand, one in a dark blue robe and hat, and another in a green robe and hat. Further to the right, a small figure in a green robe kneels on the ground near a red, dog-like object. Two other figures are seated on the far right. One, in a light brown robe, sits on a low stool, while another, in a dark robe, kneels on a patterned mat. Several vessels and objects are scattered around these seated figures. The ground itself is a light brown, with some darker green and brown patterns suggesting foliage or ground cover.
