Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical painting on light-colored paper, featuring two figures and a tree rendered with ink lines and subtle washes of color. The main figure, positioned slightly left of center, stands facing towards the right. This figure wears a dark, rounded hat and long, flowing robes outlined in black ink. The robes are primarily light-colored, with faint hints of red and yellow visible in some areas. Behind and slightly to the left of the main figure is a smaller, child-like figure, partially obscured by the larger one. This smaller figure also wears robes with dark outlines and appears to be looking in the same direction. To the right of the figures, a tree with a slender, dark trunk and delicate branches extends upwards and towards the right. The branches are adorned with numerous small, light-colored blossoms or leaves, depicted with fine dots and light washes. The ground beneath the figures and the tree is suggested by soft, irregular washes of light brown and grey, creating a gentle slope or uneven terrain. The upper portion of the background is left largely unadorned, maintaining the light, neutral tone of the paper. In the bottom left corner, a small, square red seal is visible.
