This is a drawing of three sketched figures and bold calligraphy. The figures are roughly sketched in a loose style that suggests movement. They appear to be wearing old-fashioned clothing. The drawing uses light pencil strokes for details and darker strokes for outlines and shadows. Below the figures are large signatures. The figures are depicted with dynamic poses, each facing different directions.
