Brief Description
A robed, bearded man sits on a large, leaf-like object floating on stylized waves
Detailed Description
This monochrome ink painting on light brown paper depicts a bearded man seated on a large, elongated, leaf-like object, floating on stylized waves. The man, positioned in the center-left, faces towards the right. He has a full beard and mustache, and his hair is tied up on top of his head. He wears a loose-fitting robe with a sash tied around his waist. The leaf-like object he sits upon is wide at the front, where his legs are, and tapers towards the back, curving upwards to form a tall, pointed shape behind him. The lower half of the composition is filled with dark, undulating lines representing waves, with smaller, swirling patterns around the base of the floating object. The upper half of the painting is mostly empty, showing the light brown paper, with some faint, lighter ink washes suggesting clouds or mist in the background. Vertical text is inscribed in dark ink on the upper right side of the curved, leaf-like object. The visible characters include '趙江龍' and '于東坡'.
