Robed figures under a gnarled tree next to a building, one holding a scroll
Detailed Description
The image depicts a gathering of figures beneath a large tree next to a building. The upper half of the image is dominated by a gnarled tree with a thick, light-colored trunk and branches, and dark green, sparse foliage. Behind the tree, to the right, is a building with red architectural elements and yellow walls, featuring a patterned window or screen. Below the tree, a group of approximately twelve figures are arranged in a loose cluster. They wear long robes in various colors, including shades of green, brown, red, and blue, with some featuring patterned designs. Their skin tones vary, and some have beards or shaved heads. In the center of the group, one figure holds a horizontal scroll or painting, which displays a landscape scene with a small, light-colored figure. To the far left, a younger figure, possibly a child, stands holding a staff. The figures stand in various postures; some look towards the scroll, while others appear to be conversing. The background is a plain, light beige color. Red seals and some faint vertical text are visible on the left side of the painting, near the top and middle. The entire scene is framed by a dark blue border with a repeating gold pattern.
