Visual Summary

Brief Description

A robed figure sits facing left, black calligraphy and red seals on a light-colored surface

Detailed Description

The artwork is a horizontal composition on a light, cream-colored background, framed by a narrow, golden-brown border with a repeating pattern of small, light-colored cloud-like shapes. On the right side, a single figure is depicted in profile, seated on the ground and facing towards the left. The figure is rendered with broad, fluid black ink brushstrokes, forming a voluminous robe that covers the body. The head appears bald or shaven, with a small, dark tuft of hair visible at the back. The figure's right arm is slightly raised, and the hands are positioned as if holding a small, dark, elongated object, possibly a brush or a small scroll. The figure appears to be focused on writing. To the left of the figure, several vertical columns of black calligraphy are arranged. The characters are varied in size and style, executed with expressive brushwork. Below the main body of calligraphy, towards the bottom left, are two distinct red square seals, stacked vertically. A smaller, rectangular red seal is positioned above and slightly to the right of the top square seal.
