Brief Description
Robed figures, a child, and a dog gathered near a fence and a large gnarled tree
Detailed Description
The monochrome ink drawing depicts a horizontal scene with multiple figures on the left and a landscape on the right. On the far left, a bearded man in a long robe kneels, holding a staff. Another robed man stands beside him, looking towards a central group. This central group consists of several robed figures, some with beards, displaying various gestures. One bald man points his finger towards the left, in the direction of the kneeling figure. Another man with a beard and a cap stands behind him. Further to the right within this group, a smaller figure, possibly a child, stands near another adult figure. A small dog is visible on the ground near the feet of the central figures. Behind the figures, a simple fence made of vertical stakes and horizontal ties stretches across the middle ground. Beyond the fence, a dense area of tall, thin plants or reeds extends towards the right. On the far right, a large, gnarled tree with bare branches dominates the upper portion of the scene. Its trunk is thick and twisted, with visible knots or hollows. In the lower right corner, several red seal impressions are visible, stacked vertically. The background is largely unadorned, appearing as an open sky or distant, indistinct landscape. The scene is rendered with fine lines and subtle ink washes.
