This painting shows a group of people in fancy clothes, walking in a line. The person on the left wears a long, shiny robe with gold trim and holds a scepter. The others carry scrolls or small objects, dressed in light-colored tunics with red or blue sashes. The background is plain, and the floor looks like a stage with scattered leaves. Notice how the faces are all turned toward the left, as if looking at something important. The colors are soft, with lots of white and pale gold, giving it a dreamy feel.
