Detailed Description
The image displays a section of a light brown background with visible texture and slight discoloration, featuring two robed figures and multiple columns of black calligraphic text. On the far left, several vertical columns of black calligraphic text are visible, written in a flowing, somewhat cursive style. To the right of this text, two figures are depicted, facing slightly towards the viewer. The figure on the left wears a dark, possibly black, cap that covers the top of his head and extends down behind his ears. He has a light-skinned face with dark eyes and a short, dark beard. His attire consists of a red robe, cinched at the waist with a white and gold belt-like sash. Above this figure, a vertical column of black text reads: "唐京兆尹 冒中素公像". The figure on the right has a light-skinned face, a short, dark beard, and a mustache. He wears a black hat with two flat, horizontal extensions protruding from the sides. His red robe is secured with a green and gold belt-like sash. He holds a light-colored, staff-like object vertically in his right hand, resting it against his shoulder. Above this figure, two vertical columns of black text read: "西漢直指使者 冒勝之公小景 傳事具漢書不疑". The figures and text are rendered with clear outlines and muted colors against the brown background.
