A scroll with vertical calligraphic text and a painted portrait of a man with a beard
The image displays a horizontal scroll, divided into several vertical sections. The left two-thirds of the scroll are filled with columns of vertical calligraphic text in black ink, written on a light brown paper. The text varies in density and style, with some characters appearing larger or more fluid than others. Several small, square red seals are visible within the text. To the right of the text, a lighter, textured vertical strip separates the calligraphic section from a painted portrait. The rightmost section features a portrait of a man, depicted from the chest up, against a plain light brown background. The man has light skin, a long, dark, pointed beard, and a mustache. He wears a dark, rounded hat that covers his ears and a dark, high-collared robe with a reddish-brown garment visible underneath. His eyes are dark, and he looks slightly to the right, with a neutral expression. Another narrow, lighter vertical strip is visible to the far right of the portrait, suggesting the edge of the scroll.
