Deities of Heaven and Earth, nianhua New Year's picture, early 20th century, Chinese Beijing, graphic print, height 50.0 cm, width 45.0 cm, A rectangular printed sheet shows a group scene divided into upper and lower registers with a horizontal decorative band between them; the upper area features a stage-like setting with a central seated figure wearing a tall headdress flanked by attendants, a few standing figures holding long staffs, and a canopy with circular decorative elements overhead, while the lower area shows a procession of standing figures and a horse. The image uses a palette that includes pink, red, purple, green, teal, yellow, and beige, with black linear outlines and inked details. The paper appears aged with a beige background and slight discoloration at the edges.

The composition is framed by a thin border and shows minor creases and a few small edge imperfections.
