The painting depicts a long, horizontal scene divided into sections. The left section shows a building with a tiled roof and a fenced yard. A person sits on the stairs leading to the building, and another person stands by the fence. The central section features a mountainous landscape with people riding horses and holding weapons, and some standing. There are also trees and hills in this section. The right section shows a group of people sitting and standing near a building and a tree. The background of the painting is a muted brown color, with Chinese writing on the top right and left sides. The title of the painting is "Seventh Month" from the "Odes of Bin", and the artist is not visually identified but is known to be Qiu Ying. The painting style appears traditional Chinese.
