Detailed Description
Four men in draped garments are arranged horizontally, walking from left to right against a plain, light-colored background. The man on the far left is bald, facing forward with his head turned slightly right. He is bare-chested, wearing a long, patterned robe that drapes over his left arm and leg, and holds the fabric with his left hand. His feet are bare. To his right, a smaller, bald man walks in profile, facing right. He carries a long, slender staff over his right shoulder, topped with an ornate, leaf-like finial. He wears a simple draped garment, and a small bag or satchel hangs from his left hip. His feet are bare. Next to him, a taller man with a full beard and mustache walks facing right, his head turned slightly forward. He wears a voluminous, layered robe with wide sleeves. His right hand is raised to chest height, palm forward with fingers slightly curled, while his left arm is mostly obscured by his robe. His feet are covered by his robe. The man on the far right is bald and walks in profile, facing right with his head tilted slightly upward. He holds a long-handled censer or incense burner in both hands, extended forward, from which a small wisp of smoke rises. He wears a flowing robe that covers his feet. Two small red seal marks are visible, one at the top center and one at the bottom center of the composition.
