Detailed Description
This circular painting depicts a figure in a sparse landscape, rendered on a light brown ground. The central figure, positioned slightly to the left, appears to be a person with a round, smiling face and a beard. They are shown with a large, reddish-brown sack on their back, held by a strap over their shoulder. The figure wears light-colored robes, with dark blue accents on what appear to be boots or leggings. Their posture suggests movement or a relaxed lean. The background features subtle, undulating lines indicating hills or mounds, rendered in a lighter brown wash. Scattered throughout the scene are several small, dark, bare tree branches, appearing in the foreground and middle ground, adding to the sparse environment. To the right of the central figure, a tall, slender, light-colored bottle or vase stands vertically on the ground. Adjacent to it, further right, is a dark, irregular shape, possibly a rock or a bundle, with a faint red element near its top. The overall color scheme is muted, primarily consisting of various shades of brown, gray, and light washes of red and blue. In the upper right corner, outside the circular artwork but on the surrounding paper, a vertical rectangular label contains dark, vertical characters that read: 宋都澄醉酒翁.
