Description:
This scroll is pale green in colour, with an inserted patterned panel of mid brown, gold and green, within which is the painting. This schematic thick line drawing is set against a cream background and shows a figure seating possibly cross-legged. Only the facial features show any detail. The eyes are looking upwards, showing a long hooked nose and large ears with long lobes. The coiffure is black and the figure has a long flowing beard. Six vertical lines of Japanese text are evident at the top left, which the figure appears to looks towards.
