Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Procession of Daoist Deities: Lea

A seated ruler in a formal hall of carved screens and balustrades presides over a row of standing attendants in flowing robes. Two armed guardian figures stand at the lower corners, and red seals mark the margins of this fine-line ink drawing on paper.

Look closer: Small red seals in the right margin, including one beside the central figure's canopy.
