This is a genre painting of scholars at leisure, a favorite subject of paintings during the Joseon period. It portrays the rear garden of a noble house along with the garden gate, a rectangular pond, and a tall pine tree beside it. Two people are playing baduk (or go) in the shade while a third watches. The remaining two figures appear to be appreciating calligraphy and other writings.
