A vertically oriented silk painting depicts women with light skin tones in a tiered palace garden. Green-roofed pavilions with red pillars rise toward misty mountains in the background. Across multiple levels, women in colorful robes gather on terraces, walk along bridges on the lower left, and stand near trees. Muted blues, greens, and browns dominate the landscape, with figures distributed throughout the foregrounded architecture and background peaks.
