Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Kings of Hells: Leaf 27
A line drawing in ink on brown paper shows a bearded official in a long robe seated on a raised dais beneath a carved screen, with attendants at his sides. At upper right, two clerks write at a draped table under a tiled roof. Below, a figure in a long robe walks among clouds, while other figures with a spear and a crowd of attendants fill the lower edges.
Look closer: Two clerks write at a table in the upper right, partly hidden by the tiled roof edge.
