Did You Know?

Three clues to this composition’s original format—a pair of doors to a cabinet shelf—are the two circles at either end, the seam down the center, and the size of the image.
A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on gold leaf depicts three figures with light skin tones in a sparse landscape. On our left, white papers float in a dark blue river beside a person in voluminous black robes facing right. In the center, a figure wearing a tall black hat sits beneath a gnarled tree. On our right, a child in green robes sits near green hills and a red seal containing Japanese calligraphy.
