Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features a woman and a child beneath a flowering tree on a light tan background. In the upper portion, a gnarled tree trunk enters from the right edge, with a branch extending left, covered in clusters of light pink cherry blossoms. Below the tree, a tall woman stands facing slightly right, her head turned upwards and to the right. She has fair skin, dark hair partially covered by a white cap, and wears a long, flowing robe. The robe is primarily dark red with thin vertical stripes, a wide black sash, and a white patterned lining visible at the hem and sleeves. Her left hand is held by a small child standing to her left. The child, with fair skin and a bald head, wears a green robe with red trim and looks upwards in the same direction as the woman. The ground beneath them is a light tan with sparse green and brown markings. In the lower right corner, there is a small red seal and a column of black vertical text. The central painting is framed by decorative borders: a wide blue band with white circular patterns at the very top and bottom, and narrower tan bands with blue geometric patterns along the left and right sides.
