Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a mountainous landscape with human figures. The upper portion features tall, rounded mountains covered in shades of green foliage, with lighter, misty areas suggesting clouds or distance. A prominent white waterfall cascades from the upper right, flowing into the middle ground. Numerous dark green trees, including tall pines, are scattered across the mountainsides and valleys. The middle section of the painting shows a clearing where several figures are gathered. In the center, a figure with a beard, dressed in light robes, is seated on the ground, playing a stringed instrument. Opposite this figure, another individual in light robes sits, facing the musician. To their right, a third figure is seated near a low, dark table, appearing to serve from a bowl. Further up and to the right, a fourth figure is seated near another small table. The clearing is surrounded by various trees and dense green foliage, including a large, gnarled tree trunk on the left. The lower part of the painting continues the landscape with more trees and a winding path. A small, solitary figure in light robes walks on this path towards the right side of the composition. The color palette is dominated by greens, light browns, and tans, with white accents for the waterfall and figures' clothing. In the upper right corner, a column of black text is visible, and in the lower left, a small red square seal is present.
