About this work

This painting shows a serene scene with a large tree on the right side, its branches stretching up and out. In the foreground, two figures are depicted, one standing and the other sitting. The background features a subtle landscape with gentle hills and a red sun or moon in the sky. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the tree's branches and the simple yet expressive lines used to depict the figures. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and contemplation.
