The image displays an arched stone gateway set within a grey brick wall, situated in Beihai Park, Xicheng District, Beijing, China. Low-angle sunlight illuminates the scene, casting elongated shadows on the grey, grooved pavement. Two individuals in traditional Chinese period costumes are the primary subjects. In the central foreground, an individual faces away from the camera, positioned within the archway. This person wears a red long-sleeved jacket and skirt ensemble, featuring white fur trim on the collar, cuffs, and jacket hem, and intricate embroidery of white, blue, and pink birds and flowers. A black headdress adorned with a prominent red floral embellishment and white side pieces is worn. A plain white tote bag hangs over the left arm. To the right, partially within the archway, a second individual stands facing left. This person wears a lilac-colored traditional Chinese outfit with light-colored fur trim and embroidered patterns, accompanied by a headdress with light-colored floral or feather-like decorations. The right hand is positioned near a vibrant red wooden door panel. The archway is constructed from light grey, rough-hewn stone blocks, contrasting with the darker grey brickwork of the surrounding wall. Through the arch, a brightly lit interior passage with a curved ceiling is visible, leading to an open area with colorful traditional Chinese architectural elements (e.g., red columns, ornate eaves). Several blurred figures in modern clothing are discernible in this background area. On either side of the foreground, irregular, light-colored natural rock formations are present. A small white fan rests on the top of the right-side rock, next to a black fabric item placed on the ground.
