Detailed Description
This image features two distinct scenes, each with figures and architectural elements, rendered with black ink outlines and light color washes. The left scene shows an outdoor area next to a white building with a dark tiled roof and a window with dark vertical bars. In the foreground, a man with a dark cap and a white beard lies on his back, wearing a striped robe, holding a stick, with two basket-like objects scattered near him. Standing near the building's entrance are two men with long white beards and robes, one with arms raised and the other holding a staff, flanked by two smaller figures. Sparse vegetation is visible in the far left background. Text in the upper left reads "龍壽" and "月老牽線". The right scene depicts an open-sided building on the left with a dark tiled roof, where a figure in light clothing lies on an elevated bed with a blue pillow. In the foreground, two figures are in an outdoor area: one standing man with a long beard, an ornate patterned robe, and a dark cap with ornaments, and another man kneeling, also in a patterned robe, holding a green object on his head. A large tree with sparse foliage extends across the upper right, and a low wall separates the foreground from the background. Text in the upper right reads "太陰大" and "仙翁畫".
