Visual Summary

Brief Description

Ink drawing of a seated figure in a dark robe and hat, holding a large round fan and a bamboo staff.

Detailed Description

The artwork is an ink drawing on a light, off-white paper, depicting a single, seated figure facing forward. The figure wears a dark, loose-fitting robe with wide sleeves, and a dark, square-shaped hat. The face is rendered with simple, dark lines, showing closed eyes, a small nose, and a thin mouth, with a short beard and mustache. A lighter-colored garment is visible around the neck and chest, beneath the dark robe. A long, slender, light-colored staff, possibly bamboo, leans against the figure's right shoulder, extending upwards past the head. The figure holds a large, round fan in front of their body, covering the lower torso and lap. The fan has a light-colored surface with a dark, patterned border composed of short, angled strokes resembling chevrons. In the central area of the fan, four small, dark, irregular shapes are visible, resembling written characters or symbols. The figure's hands are visible at the bottom of the fan, holding a short, light-colored handle. The background is a plain, light tone, with some faint, lighter gray washes around the figure, suggesting depth or shadow. The drawing uses varying ink tones, from solid dark areas to lighter washes and fine lines. In the bottom left corner, handwritten text reads "NA 3332" and "10-". In the bottom right corner, handwritten text reads "Rikyu" and "Zen Master".
