A vertically oriented ink and color painting on silk with fine ink lines depicts figures in a dense bamboo grove. In the middle ground, two men in beige robes sit facing a game board. To the left, others stand among trees. In the foreground, a man and child stand on a flat rock near a stream while three more figures occupy the bank. Muted brown and tan tones define the detailed foliage and rocky terrain.
