Brief Description
A grid of numerous identical seated figures, rendered in dark ink on a light background
Detailed Description
The image shows a dense grid of small, dark ink illustrations on a light, discolored background. The grid is composed of approximately ten rows and ten columns, though some figures are obscured or damaged, particularly towards the bottom and right. Each individual illustration depicts a seated figure in a meditative pose. The figures are rendered with fine lines, showing details such as a circular shape behind the head, a distinct hairstyle, and flowing robes. Their hands appear to be in a specific gesture. Each figure is contained within a rectangular frame, and the figures are repeated throughout the grid. Some areas of the background show discoloration and minor damage, with darker smudges and lighter worn patches, especially in the central and lower right sections of the grid. The entire sheet is mounted on a light tan mat, which is then surrounded by a darker brown, textured frame.
