A vertically oriented opaque watercolor painting features a white, domed tower centered amidst tiered green hills. In the middle ground, a bearded ascetic with long white hair sits before an arched entrance. Surrounding him, stylized lions, leopards, and deer populate rocky outcrops. Along the lower edge, gray cranes and white ducks swim in a dark pond. A wide, vibrant red border with text at the top frames the intricate scene.
