Two robed men on a platform, a garden with cranes and a pine tree below
The vertical painting depicts an indoor scene above an outdoor garden. In the upper half, two men are seated side-by-side on a raised, dark brown platform covered by a patterned rug. Both men wear long, blue robes with intricate gold and white patterns, and dark hats with red finials. The man on the left holds a small object in his hands, while the man on the right has a long, dark beard. Behind them, a multi-paneled screen displays light brown landscape paintings with green and blue mountains. To the left of the seated men, a dark wooden table holds a blue vase with a plant and other small objects. To the right, another dark wooden table supports a dark green teapot. Architectural elements, including a green and blue tiled roof and pillars, frame the indoor setting. A large, gnarled pine tree with dark green needles extends from the upper right corner, its branches reaching over the roof. The lower half of the painting shows an outdoor garden scene on a light brown ground. Two white cranes with black markings on their wings and red crowns stand near the center-right. One crane stands upright, while the other bends its neck towards the ground. To the left, a large, irregularly shaped blue-green rock formation is surrounded by delicate white flowering branches. Green bamboo shoots grow near the base of the pine tree on the right. A set of light-colored steps leads from the garden ground up to the platform where the men are seated.
