Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a central rectangular panel with four deer, set against a light cream background adorned with flowering branches. The scroll has an outer gold-colored border and an inner blue border with a repeating geometric pattern. Dark gray branches with clusters of small, rounded dark gray leaves and tiny light pink flowers or berries extend from the top left, curving downwards, and also appear at the bottom right of the main background. The central panel is a light tan color. Within this panel, four deer are rendered with dark gray ink lines. From left to right, the first deer faces right, with its head slightly lowered. The second deer, slightly behind and to the right, also faces right with its head down. The third deer, in the foreground, faces right with one front leg raised. The fourth deer, on the far right, faces left with its head lowered. All four deer have antlers. Vertical lines of text are visible on the main background to the left of the central panel, and a red square seal is below it. More vertical text and a red seal are in the bottom left of the central panel, and another red seal is in its bottom right corner.
