Gathering Osmanthus

A walled garden of pavilions and covered galleries with tiled roofs, set against a rose-tinted mountain. Women in long robes stroll the terraces and sit at a balcony, while a man in red and others crouch on the lawn beside potted shrubs.

Look closer: A small figure looks out from the upper balcony on the right side of the building.
