The woman wears a white robe with dark stripes and red edges, and a flower-shaped hair ornament. A standing woman on the left has a brown robe with geometric designs. The bald man wears an orange robe with a black sash. The left wall has white embossed maple leaves against beige, and a dark gray wall is on the right with a lattice-patterned window. Low dark-brown tables are on the right with containers and items including a covered bowl and a fan. The beige floor has a pattern of darker beige lines and several objects, including a small cup on a black stand.
