The image depicts a painting of a Spring Landscape with Plum Blossoms, Scholar and Deer by Xie Shichen. The painting is on a rectangular piece of paper or silk with a light brown background. The artwork shows a landscape scene with mountains, trees, and a body of water. A scholar sits on a rock and faces a deer standing in front of him. The scholar wears traditional Chinese clothing and holds a staff. The mountains are rugged and have some greenery on them. The trees in the foreground have no leaves and are likely plum blossoms. The painting style appears to be traditional Chinese art with ink or brush strokes. The artwork has a border around it that is slightly lighter than the painting itself. The border appears to be a thin strip of paper. The painting captures a serene and peaceful scene with the scholar and deer interacting in nature. The plum blossoms are likely pink but appear grey.
