This fine set of figurative paintings consists of the following scenes:
1. A woman holds a fan in one hand and a pink kerchief in the other; she wears a long scarf over a purple outer robe with dragon roundels. She wears a dark headdress with pendant strings of gemstones. A river landscape lies beyond, and ornamental rockwork can be seen at the right.
2. A man holding a ceremonial bow and arrow; he wears a yellow jacket with dragon roundels over a robe also decorated with dragons, and a white hat with scarlet tassel and triple-eyed peacock feather, a mark of Imperial favour. Beyond the parapet are lakeside pavilions and rockwork.
3. A woman standing by a low pierced wall, in a purple-brown sleeveless overgarment, with dragon roundels, over a green robe; she wears a dark headdress with pendant strings of gemstones. In the distance is a lake flanked with garden pavilions and potted plants ranged along the parapets.
4. A standing man wears a long necklace of pale gemstones over a long-sleeved purple robe decorated with dragon roundels; his official hat carries a scarlet hat-button and a triple-eyed peacock feather, a mark of Imperial favour.
5. A man dressed in a plain dark grey jacket over a grey robe holds rolls of fabric and a rule. Beyond is a rolling landscape with tree-lined hills and a bridge over a lake.
6. A woman with elaborate headdress, from which strings of gemstones are suspended, stands in front of a low wall of red-orange latticework; she wears a blue sleeveless overgarment decorated with vertical dragons, over a pink robe with full sleeves concealing her hands. A green pleated skirt appears below. A lake and pavilions can be seen in the distance.
