The painting depicts a scene from "Ten Kings of Hell" by Jin Chushi, showing a group of people in traditional Chinese attire. The main figure sits at a table with a red and blue patterned cloth, wearing a red robe and white pants, with a white head covering. To their right is another figure in a green robe and black hat, holding a document. Behind them stands a figure in a pink robe and black hat. Three other figures are present: one in a black and red top and white pants, holding a staff; another in white, and a third in a red top and blue bottoms, holding a long stick. The background features a brown wall with red trim, and a green tree branch. The entire scene is framed by a yellow border.
