A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting on paper features thirteen horizontal lines of cursive script. Faded blue-gray writing drifts across the cream-colored surface in fluid, blurry strokes. Small dark spots and light brown stains mark the aged page. A thin double border of reddish-orange and gold lines frames the central text, containing the faint characters within a narrow boundary.
