Brief Description
Three robed figures, vertical text, and red seals on a light-colored sheet
Detailed Description
This vertical artwork is rendered on light brown paper. In the upper left quadrant, a block of vertical text in dark ink, composed of multiple columns of script characters, is visible. Below and to the left of this text block are two small, square red seals. The lower half of the artwork features three figures, likely men, drawn with thin, dark lines, arranged in a horizontal line across the bottom third of the image. The figure on the far left has a beard and wears a long, flowing robe with wide sleeves. He appears to be holding or supporting a long, light-colored scroll or piece of fabric that extends towards the center figure. The middle figure also has a beard and wears a similar long robe. He is positioned slightly behind the left figure and also seems to be interacting with the scroll, holding it with both hands. The figure on the right is slightly shorter and wears a dark, tall hat and a long robe. He has a beard and is looking towards the other two figures and the scroll. His hands are positioned as if he is about to receive or examine the scroll. The background is plain and unadorned, matching the color of the paper. Another small red seal is visible in the bottom right corner. The drawing style is simple, focusing on outlines and drapery folds, with minimal shading.
