Description
A vivid vermillion-red shrine gate and building rise beside dark green trees under a rain-streaked grey sky, with a two-tiered pagoda roof visible behind a low fence. In the foreground, two figures in dark clothing shelter beneath a blue umbrella on the wet stone path. The scene is rendered in flat, muted tones with the rain suggested by fine diagonal streaks across the composition.
