Brief Description
Three robed figures sit by a pond with a zigzag bridge and white and purple irises
Detailed Description
The rectangular image depicts three figures seated on a light brown ground, bordered by a dark blue pond and a gold background at the top. The pond, which occupies the upper left and central-upper portions, features a light brown zigzag wooden bridge with small supports. Along the pond's edge, clusters of white and light purple irises with green leaves are visible. In the center, a figure with pale skin and black hair styled in a topknot sits on a red cushion. This figure wears a light blue robe with a white geometric pattern and is positioned in front of a decorative screen. The screen has a black frame with an intricate pattern and features vertical panels in shades of blue, white, red, and patterned fabric. A small, dark rectangular object, possibly a game board, rests on the ground in front of this central figure. To the lower left, another figure with pale skin and black hair sits on a red cushion, wearing a white robe adorned with light blue and pink floral patterns. To the lower right, a third figure, also with pale skin and black hair, sits on a red cushion, dressed in a red robe with a subtle pattern. All three figures are depicted seated, facing towards the center or slightly inward. The ground beneath them is a uniform light brown, and the top edge of the image features a textured gold background.
