A hunched figure in a large woven hat holds a staff, with black calligraphy above
Detailed Description
The image shows a vertical composition in black ink, featuring a single figure and calligraphy. In the upper right quadrant, a column of large, bold black calligraphic characters descends vertically, ending with two small red square seals. Below the calligraphy, occupying the lower half of the composition, is a figure in black ink. The figure is depicted in a hunched or seated position, facing slightly to the left, with a large, round, woven hat covering the head and upper back. The hat has a distinct grid pattern. The figure's face, visible beneath the hat, shows a prominent nose and a dark, possibly bearded, chin. Long, flowing robes are indicated with broad, sweeping brushstrokes, obscuring the body. The figure's hands are clasped together near the waist, holding a long, thin staff that extends diagonally downwards to the lower right corner of the composition, where it ends in a small, dark foot-like shape. To the left of the figure's lower body, a small, rounded, dark object rests on the ground. A small red square seal is also visible in the lower left corner. The background is a plain, light, unadorned surface.
