Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Kings of Hells: Leaf 30

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown paper drawing of a seated king on a raised platform; drawing appears to be a preparatory study with minimal shading. The king sits on a raised platform, surrounded by drawn curtains and covered with a patterned cloth. He is flanked by standing attendants. Figures on either side are drawn around low tables. A figure kneels on one side and a figure in a classical gown stands on the other side near a cityscape. The figure kneeling holds an object near their face. At the bottom, a partial drawing of a dish containing a fish on a platter. A blank white background is visible around the edges of the brown paper.
