A retail establishment for traditional calligraphy and painting supplies, situated in what appears to be a market or street-side shop in New Taipei, Taiwan, is depicted from a frontal perspective. The scene features three adult females interacting around a display counter. A shopkeeper, wearing glasses and a maroon top, is seated behind the counter on the right, looking towards two customers. The customer in the foreground, seen from the back, wears a cream-colored puffer vest over a dark shirt and light-colored pants, leaning on the counter. A second customer is partially visible to the left of the first, with dark hair and a white top. The shop interior is brightly lit by fluorescent tubes. Above the counter, numerous calligraphy brushes of varying sizes, with dark wooden handles and bristles in brown, black, and white hues, hang suspended from chains attached to a red-latticed overhead structure. A notably large brush with dark brown bristles and a long dark handle hangs prominently in the mid-right. The counter is laden with products, including sets of calligraphy brushes in wooden stands, boxed ink or paper supplies, and small dark circular vessels. Shelves lining the rear wall display additional art supplies, including packaged paper and traditional fans. Chinese characters are visible on banners and product packaging throughout the scene.
