Brief Description
Two figures beneath a gnarled pine tree, rendered in ink wash on a vertical scroll
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical ink wash on a light brown scroll, depicting two figures beneath a pine tree. The background is a plain, light tan color. In the lower right quadrant, a gnarled pine tree trunk rises, its branches extending upwards and to the left, covered in clusters of short, needle-like leaves. The tree's bark is rendered with textured ink strokes. Below the tree, in the lower center, two figures stand on a patch of ground indicated by light ink washes. Both figures are depicted with round faces and wear loose, flowing garments. The figure on the left is slightly behind and to the left of the figure on the right, with their heads close together. The figure on the right holds a thin, dark object, possibly a staff or a closed fan, in their right hand. The ink work uses varying shades of black, from fine lines defining facial features and clothing folds to broader washes for the tree trunk and shadows, creating a sense of depth and form against the light background.
