A vertically oriented black ink drawing on a tan hanging scroll depicts a man with a long beard and wiry whiskers facing left. He wears flowing robes and carries a large sword on his back. Thick brushstrokes define his garments, while translucent gray ink swirls beneath him, suggesting upward flight. A small red square stamp sits at the bottom right. A decorative tan and gold border frames the paper.
