Brief Description
A light ink drawing of a bearded figure in a hooded robe, with calligraphic text above
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a light brown background with patterned borders on the left and right sides, and a gold-colored border at the very top. In the upper section, black calligraphic text is arranged in vertical columns, accompanied by a square red seal impression. Below the text, a figure is depicted in light grey and black ink, occupying the central portion of the scroll. The figure appears to be seated or kneeling, facing slightly towards the right. They wear a hooded robe, and a beard is visible on their face. The lines defining the figure are delicate and somewhat faded. Below the figure, faint lines suggest a few slender, vertical elements, possibly bamboo or reeds, near the base of the composition. In the bottom left corner, a small, square red seal impression is visible, along with some very faint, almost illegible text.
