Brief Description
A scroll painting depicts two men and a woman working with pottery and various items
Detailed Description
The vertical scroll painting features a scene with three figures and various objects, rendered in ink and light washes of color on a pale background. The top portion of the image is largely empty, with faint outlines of what appear to be shelves or distant structures, and two thin vertical poles extending upwards. In the middle section, a man with a bald head and a dark blue robe kneels on a raised, light-colored platform. He is actively engaged with a round, light-colored object, possibly pottery, using small tools in his hands. Behind him, a woman in a reddish-brown top and dark hair sits. To the man's left, on the platform, are several irregular, light-colored forms. To the right of the man, a dark rectangular panel displays vertical calligraphic text, which reads: "陶淵明" followed by smaller characters below. Below the raised platform, in the lower section of the painting, another man kneels on the floor. He wears a blue and gray striped garment and is working with a large, light-colored, sack-like object. To his immediate left, a smaller, flat, light-colored object rests on the floor. Further to the right, a simple, light-colored wooden table stands, holding three dome-shaped objects. In the lower right corner, more vertical calligraphic text is visible, reading: "九月廿五日" and "保合齋", with a red seal impression directly beneath it. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by grays, blues, and pale browns.
