Visual Summary

Brief Description

Black ink drawing of a crouching figure in dark, flowing garments holding a long sword

Detailed Description

A black ink drawing on a light, untextured background depicts a single figure in a crouching pose. The figure is positioned slightly to the right of center, facing towards the right with their head turned slightly to the left. They wear loose-fitting, wide-sleeved clothing, rendered with bold black outlines and some areas of solid black ink for shading. The lower part of their garment features a geometric pattern of interlocking lines. Their hair is styled upwards and appears to be tied, with short, dark strokes. The figure holds a long, unsheathed sword with both hands, extending it towards the right side of the frame. The sword has a textured hilt and a long, straight blade. A second, shorter, sheathed sword is visible at the figure's left hip, tucked into their sash. The figure's right arm is bent, with the hand near their chest, while their left arm is extended to grip the sword.
