Brief Description
Two robed figures, one seated under a tree, one prostrating, in a misty mountain landscape
Detailed Description
The vertical painting depicts a muted landscape scene with two figures. In the lower-left quadrant, a large, robed figure sits on a rock, facing right. This figure appears to be an older person with a bald head and a prominent earlobe, wearing loose, layered robes that expose their chest. They hold a long staff in their right hand, resting it on the ground. To the right of the seated figure, a smaller figure is prostrated on the ground, facing the seated figure. This figure is also robed, with their head bowed low to the ground. The background features a mountainous landscape rendered with ink washes, creating a sense of depth and mist. On the far left, a steep cliff face rises, from which a gnarled tree with dark foliage extends branches over the seated figure. Smaller trees and sparse vegetation are visible on the lower hills. In the upper-right, a faint, pagoda-like structure is visible on a distant peak, partially obscured by mist. The overall color palette is dominated by warm sepia and brown tones, with darker ink used for outlines and details of the figures and landscape elements.
