Brief Description
Two figures, one in green, one in blue, stand by a white railing with a pine tree
Detailed Description
Two figures stand near a white and green railing, with natural elements in the background. The taller figure, positioned on the left, wears an elaborate robe primarily in light green and cream, with wide sleeves and white fluffy trim. Her hair is styled high with decorative elements, and she holds a white fan in her hands, which are held at chest level. She faces towards the right, looking down at the shorter figure. The shorter figure, on the right, wears a blue robe with subtle patterns and stands slightly bowed, facing the taller figure. Behind the figures is a white balustrade with green accents and decorative posts. To the right of the railing, green bamboo shoots are visible. In the upper right portion of the painting, a gnarled, dark pine tree branch extends downwards and to the left, with clusters of green needles. Below the pine branch and to its right, a dark, rocky outcrop or cliff face is depicted. The background is a plain, light golden-brown color, creating a soft contrast with the figures and natural elements.
