Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical scroll with a central light-colored rectangular panel framed by decorative borders. The left and right borders are gold with a repeating floral or cloud-like pattern. The top and bottom borders are dark blue or black with a similar gold pattern. The central panel features black ink text in the upper left quadrant, arranged in vertical columns. Below the text, a red square seal is visible. The text reads: "破雲驅霧寶相甲冑雲飛下手書。何影裏金針雪也。要雷人驀眼。大白居山。森羅老子". In the lower right quadrant of the central panel, a figure is drawn in light grey ink. The figure is a seated person, depicted in profile facing left, with their head bowed. The figure has a visible forehead and a short beard. The figure wears a simple, loose-fitting robe that covers their body and arms. Their hands are slightly raised in front of them. The drawing is rendered with delicate, thin lines. The background of the central panel is plain and unadorned.
