Detailed Description
A black ink drawing on a light-colored, rectangular sheet of paper depicts a central scene. On the left, a large, gnarled tree with dense foliage stands over a structure resembling a small shrine or monument. Inside this structure, a stylized face with horns and prominent fangs is depicted. The base of the structure and the area around it are covered in swirling lines, suggesting bushes or clouds. To the right of the structure, the ground is sparsely detailed with small, spiky plants or rocks. In the upper right quadrant, two bird-like figures are shown in flight, rendered with simple, swift strokes. The background is mostly blank, light-colored paper. Vertical black text is present on the far left of this drawing, reading "梧庵 鬼面状会 帝山". Below this text, a small red square seal is visible. To the far left of this main drawing, a partial view of another ink drawing is visible, depicting mountains and trees, also with vertical text "梧庵 山水 帝山" and a red seal. The right edge of the entire composition features a vertical strip of light brown paper with dark speckles.
