Scholar Playing a Qin

The image depicts a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, playing a long, narrow musical instrument with 7-8 strings and a flat, wide neck. He is balding with a long beard and mustache and wears a light-colored robe. The man sits on a woven mat under a tree with sparse leaves. A person reclines on the ground behind him, resting their head on their arms. A small hut or tent is seen on the left. The background features a full moon and a hill with sparse vegetation. The overall scene is rendered in muted, earthy tones. The title of the piece is "Scholar Playing a Qin" and the artist is unknown.
