Visual Summary

Brief Description

Two figures, one reclining with a fan, one seated, with calligraphic text on a light ground.

Detailed Description

The artwork is a horizontal panel featuring two figures and two blocks of calligraphic text on a light background. It primarily uses black ink lines with subtle color accents. On the left side, a figure is depicted in a reclining or semi-seated position, surrounded by voluminous, draped fabric rendered with simple, flowing lines. This figure has long, dark hair that cascades down, and their face is shown in profile, looking towards the right. They hold a fanned-out fan in their right hand. Above and slightly to the right of this figure, a block of vertical, handwritten script is present. On the right side, a second figure is seated cross-legged, facing left. This figure wears a light-colored, flowing robe and a dark, flat-topped hat. They have a small beard and mustache, and their right hand is raised to their chin. Above and slightly to the left of this figure, another block of vertical, handwritten script is visible. The background is a uniform, light tone throughout the composition.
