Ten robed figures gather around a low table in a monochromatic ink landscape
Detailed Description
The image depicts ten robed figures in an outdoor setting, rendered primarily in shades of light brown and gray. The figures are divided into three main groups. In the center, seven figures are arranged around a low, rectangular table. Four figures are seated or kneeling at the table, two on the left, one at the far end, and one on the right, all wearing long robes and head coverings. On the table, several small objects are visible, including a censer, a candle, and other indistinct items. Behind the table, three more figures stand or lean. Above the heads of these central figures, five vertical inscriptions are visible, each appearing to be the character "是". To the far left of the central group, a single, smaller figure stands facing right with arms crossed. To the far right of the central group, another figure stands facing left, holding a small cup or bowl in both hands. The background on the left features large, broad leaves of a plant, possibly a banana tree, lightly sketched. The right side of the background depicts a rocky outcrop or mountain face with sparse trees and bamboo shoots at its base. The figures are rendered with ink lines and subtle shading.
