label: Description
content: A tree with two birds upon a pole is shown at left. A Chinese man with a bow is running at its base toward some decayed planks leading to rock. Motifs of Chinoiserie landscapes are distributed in the middle distance, in the center of which a Mandarin gets his tea on top of a tree. The zigzag boardwalk leads on from there toward a tent with worshippers before an altar.
