Isometric view of figures with long black hair inside a building, parts obscured by stylized clouds
Detailed Description
The image presents an isometric view of a building interior and an adjacent exterior garden, drawn with black lines on a light-toned surface. Areas of stylized light brown clouds partially obscure parts of the scene. On the left, several figures are visible, primarily defined by their long, flowing black hair, which appears as solid black shapes. Two figures are seated or kneeling in a room, one positioned near a small, rectangular, light-colored object. This room features patterned screens and wooden floorboards. Towards the center and right, additional architectural elements of the building are shown, including rooms with pillars and railings. Large, amorphous shapes of light brown, representing stylized clouds, obscure parts of these areas. In the upper right, an exterior garden area is depicted, featuring tall, wispy grass and leafy plants. The composition presents an isometric perspective, showing multiple indoor and outdoor spaces simultaneously.
