Brief Description
Three figures, one playing an instrument, in a rocky landscape on a fan-shaped painting
Detailed Description
The artwork is a fan-shaped painting on a light brown, subtly textured surface. The scene features three figures in a landscape setting with dark, craggy rock formations. On the far left, a figure, appearing to be a woman, kneels on a large, dark-veined leaf. She is dressed in light-colored robes and has dark hair styled upwards. Her arms are raised, and her hands are positioned as if playing a stringed instrument, though the instrument itself is not distinctly rendered. In the center, a bearded man reclines against a dark, angular rock formation. He wears loose, light-colored garments and holds a small, round fan near his chin with his right hand. His left arm rests on his bent knee. To the right of the reclining man, another figure, appearing to be a woman, kneels facing left. She is also dressed in light-colored robes and has dark hair. She holds a cluster of red and pink flowers in her hands. She is positioned near another dark rock formation. Between the reclining man and the kneeling woman with flowers, a shallow, dark bowl filled with small, round, reddish-pink objects, possibly fruit, rests on the ground. The painting primarily uses black ink for outlines and details, with light washes for the figures' attire and darker, textured washes for the rocks. The background is a uniform light brown. Several red square seals are visible in the lower left and lower right corners, and dark calligraphic text is present in the upper right quadrant.
