Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a scene with four figures, a large pine tree, and a distant landscape against a golden-brown background. In the lower half, four figures are grouped. On the far left, a figure with pale skin and an elaborate dark hairstyle wears a white garment with red trim and black accents, holding the arm of another figure. The central figure, also with pale skin, has a topknot hairstyle and a faint beard. This figure wears a green garment with gold circular patterns, black striped pants, and black footwear, looking towards the figure on the left. To the right of the central figure, a smaller figure with pale skin kneels, looking downwards, dressed in a red garment adorned with yellow floral patterns. On the far right, another smaller figure with pale skin and a topknot sits, holding a small, dark rectangular box, wearing a white and red garment. A large, gnarled pine tree trunk with dark brown bark and green needles extends from the lower right corner of the composition upwards towards the center. A striped cloth, featuring vertical bands of red, white, and blue, hangs draped over one of the tree's branches. The upper half of the composition features a muted, golden-brown background. In the upper left, faint, dark, indistinct shapes are visible, possibly representing distant mountains or structures. A subtle, light, round shape, resembling a moon, is faintly visible in the upper center. In the lower right, near the sitting figure, vertical black text reads: 鳥居清長画.
