The image shows a painting of two people. The person on the right is an older man with a shaved head wearing a robe with a black, green, red and gold pattern. He holds a red object in his right hand, which appears to have a white cord. The man on the left is younger and has green skin. He wears a light-colored robe and holds a long, thin piece of wood or a staff in his arms. He also carries a small pot with a handle. The background of the painting is dark brown with a tan border featuring a repeating geometric pattern. The border is on all four sides. The subject on the right appears to be Xuanzang, a Buddhist monk, and the subject on the left appears to be his attendant.
