Multiple figures in a landscape with a lake, distant mountains, and several trees
Detailed Description
A horizontal image shows a landscape framed by two borders. The inner border is dark blue with a repeating pattern, and the outer border is light gold with a floral pattern. The central scene features a wide body of water in the middle ground, with landmasses in the left and right foregrounds and distant mountains in the background. On the far left foreground, a small, gnarled tree with dark green foliage is visible. To its right, a figure sits on the ground, facing right, wearing light-colored robes. In the water, slightly to the right of the seated figure, a small, flat-bottomed boat contains two figures. One figure sits facing right, while the other faces left, appearing to hold a long pole. Between them are small red and dark objects. The water around the boat is dotted with dark green, circular aquatic plants. On the near bank, to the right of the boat, two figures walk from left to right. The first, smaller figure wears light robes and looks towards the second, taller figure. The taller figure has a beard, wears light robes, and holds a staff in their right hand. Further to the right on the bank, a third figure sits on the ground, facing left. This figure has a long beard, wears a light brown robe, and a tall, pointed hat. Next to this seated figure, a white crane stands on one leg, facing left. Behind them, a gnarled, bare tree with dark, twisted branches rises. The background features several layers of soft, hazy mountains in shades of grey and light blue, receding into the distance. The sky above is a pale, yellowish-beige, blending into the distant mountains. The image primarily uses earth tones, light greys, and blues.
