Detailed Description
Two dogs are rendered in ink wash on a light, textured background. A light-colored dog sits in the lower-left portion of the composition, facing towards the left edge of the frame. Its body is primarily defined by faint gray outlines, with its fur uncolored, matching the light beige background. This dog has small, slightly pointed ears, a short muzzle, and dark, round eyes. Its front paws are visible, and its posture suggests it is sitting upright. Behind and slightly to the right of the light-colored dog, a second dog is partially visible. This dog is depicted with dark, almost black fur, rendered with varying shades of black and dark gray ink, giving it a textured and shaggy appearance. Its head is turned towards the viewer, with bright eyes that stand out against its dark fur. Its ears are pointed, and its face shows some lighter fur around the eyes and muzzle. A bushy, curled tail extends from its body towards the lower-right corner of the frame. The background is a uniform, light beige or off-white color, with a subtle woven texture visible throughout. In the upper right corner, there is vertical black text, followed by two square red seals. The text reads "玉" and "甲".
