The picture is painted in a clear and open hall, with Emperor Qianlong wearing a court uniform and sitting in a precarious position. Opposite him are ten turghud leaders, including the young Wobashi.

The main colors in the picture are bright vermilion, shiny golden yellow, and bright emerald green. Its rich and decorative colors add a touch of royal wealth to the solemn and serene scene< The Turkut tribe is one of the four tribes of Erut Mongolia. They mainly engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture, and originally lived in the Talbahatai and west of the middle reaches of the Erkis River. In the 1730s, they moved west to live in the lower reaches of the Erzil River (now the Volga River in Russia). In the 36th year of Qianlong's reign (1771), under the oppression of Czar Russia, the Turku people returned to the east under the leadership of Emperor Ottawa and became attached to the Qing court.
