Brief Description
Three robed figures on veranda, one nearby, stylized clouds, hills, water, and text
Detailed Description
Three figures are depicted on a raised veranda, surrounded by stylized clouds and a landscape. The veranda, on the left, features a blue-tiled roof and red structural beams. On the far left of the veranda, a figure in a dark robe stands, facing right. Next to them, a figure in a white robe sits on the floor, also facing right. To their right, a figure in a red robe stands, facing left, looking towards the seated figure. A fourth figure, in a brown robe, stands further right, facing left and looking towards the other three. Behind the figures on the veranda, a room with a patterned screen is visible, and a red curtain hangs in the background, revealing faint mountains. Stylized green and white clouds billow around the veranda, partially obscuring the structure and the background. To the right of the veranda, the landscape features rolling brown hills with green tops, sloping down towards a flat, light brown area that suggests water or land. Small, dark, rounded shapes dot the lower part of this landscape, possibly representing rocks or small islands. A tree with red leaves is visible above the clouds on the far right. The entire scene is bordered by gold strips at the top and bottom. Vertical lines of black text are present on the far left and far right edges of the painting.
