Brief Description
A landscape with figures by a winding river, hills, trees, and two small figures in the river
Detailed Description
A horizontal landscape scene features several figures. The background includes rolling hills with slopes in shades of green and light brown. Numerous trees with green foliage and some with bare branches are scattered across the hills and along the riverbanks. A winding river, with light gray water and white ripples, flows from the upper right towards the lower left. On the left bank of the river, two adult figures are seated. One figure, dressed in white robes and a dark cap, faces right, holding a light-colored, rolled object that resembles a scroll and a smaller dark object in their hand. The other figure, in brown robes, sits facing the first. Further to the right, near the river's edge, another adult figure lies on their side, partially covered by a white cloth. In the river itself, two small figures, possibly children, are partially submerged. The ground around the river is a light tan color. A small, dark rectangular object with vertical markings is visible on the bank between the seated figures and the river. The artwork features decorative borders at the top and bottom, displaying a repeating pattern of gold motifs on a teal background. The overall background of the artwork is a light gold color with a subtle pattern.
