Detailed Description
An elderly man with a long, white beard and mustache is positioned in the right half of the frame. He wears a dark, loose-fitting robe with wide sleeves and a dark, soft cap. The man is bent forward, looking downwards, and holds a long, segmented pole, resembling bamboo, horizontally across his body. A thin, light-colored line, appearing to be a string, hangs from the end of the pole, curving downwards towards the lower left. A small, dark-bodied insect with reddish-brown markings on its back and multiple legs is visible on the lower left, at the end of the string. The background is a uniform, light brown or tan color, appearing textured. In the upper right corner, a vertical column of faint, dark script is visible, followed by a small, reddish, square-shaped mark below it.
