Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting on a light brown background features eight figures, animals, and various objects arranged in a clustered composition. At the top, a large, robust figure with a dark helmet, a red plume, and a long dark beard sits cross-legged. He wears green and white robes and holds a small, dark pagoda-like object. White ribbons or sashes flow around him. To his lower left, a bald, smiling man in a light brown robe sits, holding a dark cup to his mouth. Below these two, a group of six figures and several objects are arranged. On the left, a bald, bare-chested man with a beard smiles. Next to him, a large, older man with a long white beard and a pink robe sits, looking down. To his right, another bearded man in green robes sits, looking towards the woman. A white deer with small antlers sits beside the older man on the left. In the center of this lower group, a small table or tray holds a bowl of colorful fruits (red, green, yellow) and a stack of bamboo scrolls. To the right of the table, a man with a dark hat and white robes sits, looking towards the woman. On the far right, a woman with an elaborate dark hairstyle adorned with flowers sits, wearing a patterned green and pink kimono. She holds a small object in her hands. Near her, a dark jug and two small red cups are on the ground. A small turtle or tortoise is visible on the ground in the lower right. In the lower left corner, the inscription "二川" and a red seal are visible. The overall color palette is muted, with earthy tones, greens, pinks, and browns, against the light brown scroll background.
