Brief Description
Two older men and a child playing in a landscape, with calligraphic text and seal
Detailed Description
A fan-shaped image shows three figures in a sparse landscape, rendered with light washes of color on a pale, vertically ribbed surface. On the left, a small child kneels, dressed in a reddish-orange tunic and dark pants. The child faces right, holding a thin stick that extends towards a small white object on the ground amidst green foliage. To the right of the child stand two older men, both with beards and wearing traditional robes and hats. The man closer to the child wears a dark, possibly black, hat with a small cross-like ornament on top, and a long, light-colored robe with grey accents. His beard is dark. The man to his left, slightly behind him, has a longer white beard, a dark hat, and a blue-grey tunic over a lighter robe. Both men appear to be looking towards the child. In the upper right, faint, dark brushstrokes suggest distant trees or bushes. The ground beneath the figures is a light green. In the upper left corner, several vertical lines of black calligraphic text are visible, accompanied by a small red square seal at the bottom of the text block. The overall palette is muted, with soft greens, blues, reds, and greys against the cream-colored fan surface.
