Source Description
Two large panels, of indented oval outline, contain identical pictures of landscapes, executed in conventional Chinese style, with lake scenes and waterfalls, temples and pagodas; two minor panels, which they partly hide, are filled with drooping wisteria flowers; and the two indented panels below display the same outdoor scene, with a traveler in Chinese dress attended by two boys, one holding a gilded umbrella over his head, the other pointing to a waterfall.
