Gusu Beauty–Mother and Son in a Summer Pavilion

A seated woman in a dark green robe and pale skirt holds a fan-like object while a young boy in green and red crouches beside her, looking up at her. Behind them a round window frames a lakeside pavilion, a zigzag bridge and a willow tree beneath a pale sky.

Look closer: A small bird or insect flying near the bridge in the round window.
