Ink drawing of a bearded figure with a horned headpiece, holding a staff and a small book
Detailed Description
A vertical ink drawing on aged, light-colored paper depicts a single, standing figure. The figure is shown in three-quarter profile, facing left, with a dynamic, striding posture. It has a long, flowing beard and mustache, and wild, long hair that appears to stream upwards and outwards. On top of the head, a smaller, horned animal-like head is visible, from which long, ribbon-like elements extend. The figure's face shows deeply furrowed brows and a downturned mouth. The right arm, bent at the elbow, holds a small, rectangular object resembling a book or tablet, with faint, illegible markings on its surface. The left arm holds a tall staff with a gnarled, cloud-like, or flame-like top. The figure wears flowing robes; the lower garment features an intricate, swirling pattern. A sword or dagger with an ornate hilt and scabbard hangs from the left hip. The feet are visible, wearing simple sandals or shoes. The background is plain, with faint, illegible characters in the upper left corner and a single character, resembling "五," in the upper right. The artwork is framed by a reddish-brown, speckled border.
