Detailed Description
A vertical ink wash painting on light-colored paper depicts three figures and a tree. A tall figure stands in the lower center, facing right, wearing a light-colored robe with a light blue-green sash. This figure wears a hat and holds a small, bundled figure in their arms, positioned at chest height. To the right of the tall figure, a smaller child stands, facing left towards the tall figure. This child wears a reddish garment and extends one arm forward. Behind the tall figure, on the left side of the composition, a tree trunk rendered in dark ink wash rises vertically, with some dark, textured foliage indicated above. The background is largely empty, light-colored paper, with a faint horizontal line visible in the upper middle section. A small red square seal and some faint black characters are present in the lower left corner of the artwork.
