The composition includes an elder with a flowing white beard, a young attendant, and a finely dressed woman in a garden pavilion, surrounded by chrysanthemums and natural rock formations. Opposite the scene, an inscription in black calligraphy flows vertically down the surface, possibly a poem or proverb that enhances the narrative theme.
