The painting depicts a group of people in traditional Chinese clothing gathered around a table. The artwork titled White Lotus Society is set against a brown background that resembles aged paper. A white border with a patterned design frames the top and bottom. Seven individuals are shown; one on the left is a child. Trees are on both sides, and Chinese characters are written above the group. The people are dressed in traditional robes, and their facial expressions and body language suggest a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The table holds several objects, including what appears to be a teapot and cups.
