Gods of Fortune at Mt. Penglai from Sketch Album

Kawanabe Kyōsai

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sketch depicts a scene on a beige, two-page spread from a book. A group of three old men with white hair and beards are gathered on the left side. The man on the left wears a dark vest over a white garment. He looks down to the right, towards another man bending over. The bald man in the center looks down with the left arm extended. A third man on the right peers through a magnifying glass. A large boulder with trees on top dominates the right side. A small tree grows on the left. A red semi-circle appears in the top left. The image includes black and red ink. The artist's signature appears on the bottom right.
