Ink drawing of a bearded man riding a donkey on a light brown scroll with text
Detailed Description
A painting on a vertical scroll depicts a bearded man riding a donkey, rendered in black ink on a light brown, aged paper-like surface. The man is positioned slightly to the left of center, viewed from the back and facing towards the right. He wears a loose, flowing robe, indicated by broad brushstrokes, and holds thin reins that extend towards the donkey's head. His head is bald on top with a full beard and some hair at the back, all depicted with dark, textured brushwork. The donkey, also facing right, is drawn with simple ink lines, its head lowered. Its body is a solid mass of darker ink, with lighter strokes defining its legs and head. The background is a plain, unadorned light brown. In the upper left corner, vertical lines of black text are visible. Two square red seals are present: one in the upper right corner and another in the lower left. The top and bottom edges of the scroll are framed by decorative borders with a light green and gold patterned design.
