People cooking near a building with rising smoke, an elevated platform, and a person carrying a rectangular object
Detailed Description
The scene depicts multiple figures engaged in various activities around a structure, rendered in a muted palette of grays, browns, and light blues, with subtle accents of red and green. In the upper section, a large, swirling plume of light gray smoke rises against a pale, unadorned background, originating from a dark, angular roofline below. Beneath the smoke and roof, an elevated platform is visible on the left. On this platform, several figures are seated or standing, some partially obscured. Below the platform, at ground level, more figures are depicted. To the left, a bare-chested person with light-colored skin kneels or bends over a light-colored object. To their right, another figure, possibly wearing a dark hat, is engaged with a dark pot or cooking vessel, surrounded by dark, smudged areas that suggest heat or fire. A large, dark, umbrella-like structure stands to the right of this activity, with stacks of dark, rectangular objects piled near its base. In the foreground, a person walks from left to right, carrying a flat, rectangular object on their shoulder. This individual wears a light green top, dark blue pants, and light-colored sandals. The ground beneath them is uneven, with a dark, elongated shadow or mound. In the lower right corner, a small, vertical inscription of characters, "住會", is visible, accompanied by a red, circular seal.
