Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a central painted section surrounded by extensive calligraphy. The central painting, enclosed within a circular frame, depicts a person seated indoors. The person, positioned slightly left of center, wears a long, flowing robe in shades of red and pink with blue trim. Their dark hair is styled, and they hold a light-colored, round fan in their left hand. To their right, on a surface, an open book or scroll appears. Behind the person, a patterned screen with white dots on a blue background is visible, alongside a dark, vertical structure. Below the circular painting, a flowering tree or bush with numerous small white blossoms and dark, gnarled branches extends across the lower portion of the central painted area. The background of the painted section is a muted brownish-gold. Surrounding this central image, the scroll is filled with columns of dark script. A large block of dense, smaller script occupies the top section. Vertical columns of script run along the left and right margins, interspersed with several red square seals. Additional lines of script are present at the bottom of the scroll.
