Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Kings of Hells: Leaf 31
An ink line drawing on brown paper shows a bearded, robed official seated behind a draped table within a panelled hall, with a large attendant figure beside him. Officials and attendants stand to the left and right, and figures with staves and banners gather in clouds below, the lines sketched with loose, confident strokes.
Look closer: A small figure with a staff stands at the lower left edge, half lost among the clouds.
