Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bald figure reads inside a building, a standing figure nearby, set in a sparse landscape

Detailed Description

This horizontal painting features a muted color palette, framed by decorative borders. The top and bottom borders are dark brown with light blue and gold patterns, while the side borders are gold with a subtle texture. The central scene depicts a building on the right, set against a sparse landscape on the left. Inside the building, a bald figure with light skin is seated on a white cushion, wearing a light brown robe. This figure holds an open book or scroll, appearing to read or write. A dark rectangular object rests on the floor in front of them. The building has a simple wooden structure with a raised floor and a roof. Behind the seated figure, a green area with plants is visible. To the right of the seated figure, a standing figure with long dark hair faces towards the seated individual. This figure wears a long, light green robe and red footwear. The landscape to the left of the building includes rolling hills in muted green and brown. Sparse, bare branches and clumps of grass are scattered across the light, sandy ground. The background is a very light, almost white, color.
