Visual Summary

Brief Description

A black and white line drawing shows a kneeling figure in robes observing several rats

Detailed Description

The image is a black and white line drawing on a light, untextured background. A large figure is depicted in a kneeling or crouching posture, facing towards the right, dominating the left and center of the composition. The figure wears loose, layered robes with wide sleeves. A sword with a visible hilt and scabbard is tucked into a belt at the waist. The figure's hair is pulled back, possibly into a topknot. The face has thick eyebrows, small eyes, a broad nose, and a closed mouth. Both hands are clasped together in front of the chest. Six smaller figures of rats are scattered across the right and bottom-left areas of the drawing. On the far right, one rat stands upright on its hind legs, appearing to hold a small object. Below it, two rats are depicted in close proximity, one seemingly on top of the other. Further to the bottom right, another rat is curled up. On the bottom-left side, two more rats are visible: one stands on its hind legs holding a thin, stick-like object, while the other crouches nearby. All rats are rendered with simple, expressive lines, showing their tails.
