The image shows a light brown, rectangular piece of paper with black Chinese calligraphy and two red seals. The paper is off-center on a white background. The calligraphy is arranged in three columns, with the left column having 12 lines, the middle column having 13 lines, and the right column having 12 lines. The two red seals are located in the bottom-left corner and the middle-left side. The bottom of the image features a color gradient bar. The calligraphy and seals are likely part of a poem and colophon, titled "Clouds and Spring Trees at Dusk" by Pan Zenggui.
