A bearded man and a white deer in a landscape with pine and blossoming trees
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a man and a white deer within a natural landscape. In the upper right, dark green pine branches extend into the frame. On the left, delicate branches with small white blossoms, possibly plum or cherry, are visible. The background is a light, misty gray. In the center, a man with a long, flowing white beard and mustache is depicted. He appears to be smiling. He wears a light-colored robe, possibly cream or beige, with wide sleeves and a dark, pointed hat. His right hand holds a staff that extends downwards. A small, dark, possibly red, object is tied near the top of the staff. His left hand is positioned near his waist. To the man's right, a white deer with small, dark antlers stands, its head turned slightly towards the left. The deer's body is mostly white with subtle shading. The lower part of the painting shows a light-colored ground, possibly snow or misty terrain. In the far lower left, a few dark green, slender leaves, resembling bamboo, emerge from the ground. The overall color palette is subdued, dominated by light grays, muted greens, and soft browns. The white of the blossoms and the deer provide contrast. A faint vertical inscription in dark characters with a small red seal is visible in the upper right quadrant.
