An ink and color painting on joined paper leaves features a seated man in a brown robe on the left, arm raised in surprise. A giant peach in muted pink and yellow dominates the right, where a child peeks from behind the fruit. Gestural ink lines and soft color washes define the figures against the beige paper. Vertical Japanese calligraphy and a red seal mark the upper right corner.
