Detailed Description
The artwork is a watercolor painting on a light, off-white paper, depicting three men seated on the ground. The figures are rendered with black outlines and washes of color. In the center, a man with a dark beard and mustache sits facing forward, wearing a dark gray outer robe over a lighter, possibly white, inner garment. He holds a long, thin, light-colored object, possibly a sword or scabbard, horizontally across his lap. Above him, vertical lines of black text are visible. To the left, a man with a dark topknot sits in a green robe, turned slightly to his right, looking towards the central figure. His hands are resting on his lap. To his left, more vertical lines of black text are present. To the right, another man with a dark topknot sits in a blue robe, also turned slightly to his left, looking towards the central figure. He holds a small, dark, rectangular object in his hands. Above him, additional vertical lines of black text are visible. On the ground in front of the men, several long, thin, light brown objects, resembling sword blades or scabbards, are laid out. The background is plain and unadorned.
