Detailed Description
The artwork is presented on a light brown, aged paper, divided into two main sections. On the left, a circular illustration depicts a muted landscape scene. A small figure, dressed in a red robe with green accents and dark hair styled in a bun, walks from left to right, holding a light brown staff. The figure is positioned in the lower right quadrant of the circle. To the left of the figure, two trees with light brown trunks and green-blue foliage grow on a small, grassy hill. The ground is a mix of light green and muted brown, with sparse tufts of green grass. In the background, faint, light brown hills are visible above a flat, light-colored expanse that appears to be either water or land. The colors within the circle are predominantly muted greens, browns, and a touch of red. To the right of the circular illustration, several columns of vertical text are written in black ink. The text is arranged in neat, narrow columns, filling the right half of the paper. The paper itself shows signs of age, with some creases and slight discoloration.
