A black and white line drawing of multiple figures, a large crane, and a person on an ox
Detailed Description
This black and white line drawing features a collection of eleven figures and two animals, rendered with varying line weights on a light background. In the upper left, a large crane is depicted mid-flight with its wings fully extended and its head pointed downwards. Below the crane, a figure kneels, facing right with hands extended. To the right of the kneeling figure is a large, seated figure with a robust build, wearing an elaborate, possibly armored, garment. In the upper right, a person rides on the back of an ox, both facing left. The ox has a textured body, and the rider wears a hat and flowing garments. Below the ox, a figure is shown in a dynamic pose, leaning forward with one arm raised. To the left of this figure, another individual bends deeply at the waist, looking downwards. In the center-right, a figure with a long beard holds a tall staff topped with a dense cluster of foliage or flowers. To their left, another figure stands, looking left, with hands clasped. Towards the bottom left, two figures are depicted; one is bending forward, and the other stands upright with flowing robes. In the bottom right, a figure kneels, looking left, while another stands beside them, also looking left, with a wide, flowing robe. The figures display various movements, with many wearing flowing garments and some having distinct facial features like beards or topknots.
