The Sixteen Luohans by Wu Bin depicts a serene landscape with two main figures. The seated figure wears a white robe and a pink garment underneath; their hands are clasped together in front of their face. They sit cross-legged on a tree root. A large tree with twisted branches and dark leaves grows behind the seated figure. The standing figure, on the right, wears a long white robe and holds what appears to be a staff. The setting includes green cliffs, sparse vegetation, and a small red flower on the right side. The scene is on a flat area of land with a short drop. The color palette features muted tones with green, pink, and white prominently displayed.
