Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a brownish-gold background with light blue patterned borders on the left and right sides. At the top, an ornate valance with gold patterns and hanging lanterns spans the width of the central panel. Below this, four figures are depicted in two rows, each seated within a rectangular frame. In the upper row, a man is on the left, wearing dark robes and a black hat, seated on a dark, low platform. To his right, a woman with a light-colored face wears elaborate gold and red robes and a crown, holding a small, round object in her hands. In the lower row, on the left, another woman with a light-colored face wears similar ornate gold and red robes and a crown, playing a stringed instrument. To her right, a third woman, also with a light-colored face, wears elaborate gold and red robes and a crown, with her hands clasped in front of her. At the bottom of the painting, two stylized lion-like figures, one yellowish and one white, are seated on red platforms, facing each other. Below them, on the ground, a small white dog and a small black dog are depicted. A low red fence-like structure runs horizontally behind the lion figures and dogs.
