Two robed figures, one holding a closed fan, the other an open umbrella, against a light background
Detailed Description
A monochrome drawing depicts two figures against a plain, light background. On the left, a figure faces forward, with an open mouth revealing teeth. This figure has a bald head with a topknot and holds a closed fan in their raised right hand. They wear a dark outer garment with circular patterns over a lighter, striped inner garment. Their long lower garment trails behind them. To the right, a second figure is shown from behind, looking over their left shoulder towards the first figure. This figure also has a bald head with a topknot and holds a dark, open umbrella above their head with their right hand. Their garment features a light, checkered pattern on the upper half and a darker, patterned lower half. Their bare feet are visible, with one foot raised. The background is unadorned, with faint marks. Vertical text, likely an inscription, is present in the lower right corner.
