A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in the hall of a great house at night, a kindly middle-aged lady seated at a laden banquet table holds out a wine cup, while a young scholar in a soft cap leans forward with a raised palm in polite refusal; behind them one maid with her hair in double coils holds a wine ewer and another holds a round paper lantern, before a tall pine-and-crane screen, a round-lattice window, a candle stand and a side table with a plum-blossom vase.
