Two robed figures, one older and one younger, seated, one offering an object
Detailed Description
A monochrome image, rendered with black ink washes and lines on a light background, depicts two seated, bald figures. On the left, an older figure with a wrinkled face, prominent earlobes, and a bare chest is draped in a loose, light-colored robe with dark outlines. This figure sits with legs crossed, facing right, and has a serious appearance. On the right, a younger figure with upturned mouth corners and a bald head is also dressed in a loose, light-colored robe with dark outlines. This figure kneels or sits with legs tucked, facing left, and extends both hands towards the older figure. In the right hand, the younger figure holds a thin, dark stick-like object. In the left hand, extended closer to the older figure, is a small, dark, cup-like object. Both figures are seated on a textured surface, rendered with short, dark, parallel strokes, suggesting a mat or ground cover. Subtle light brown or flesh tones are visible on the figures' skin. The background is a plain, light, unadorned surface. Vertical text is visible in the upper right corner, reading: 崇禎歲次甲戌十月 陳賢寫
