Visual Summary

Brief Description

A drawing of a seated bearded figure with ornate headwear, a standing robed figure, and decorative objects

Detailed Description

The artwork is a drawing rendered primarily in black ink with some red accents on light brown paper. On the right, a figure is seated full-frontal, depicted with a beard and a wide, smiling expression, revealing teeth. This figure wears an elaborate, multi-tiered headpiece and robes, holding a rectangular object in both hands at chest level. The figure is positioned behind a low, rectangular table, and is framed by red lines that suggest a canopy or screen with swirling decorative elements at the top corners. To the left of the seated figure, a tall, slender standing figure is depicted in robes, facing towards the right. Its head is featureless, covered by the hood of its robe. To the right of the standing figure, a tall, pear-shaped object rests on a slender, decorative stand with a bow-like element. Below this, an oval object contains the handwritten character "裏". Further to the left, a tree branch with dark foliage and hanging, vine-like leaves extends downwards. Below the standing figure, small, dark bushes are visible. In the bottom center, a small, lidded pot with a rounded body and small feet is drawn with red outlines.
