A horizontally oriented ink drawing on cream paper depicts three light-skinned men across a double-page spread. Centrally, an older man in a pointed hat and robes sits cross-legged, raising a circular fan. In the foreground, two figures crouch facing one another; the man on our right wears a tall, rounded black hat. Calligraphic brushstrokes define their expressive features and lively poses against the otherwise empty background.
