Historical epic

Black-and-white Japanese manga. a calm, classical drawing: quiet lines of even weight, a dignified face with a straight nose; solid black only on the hair, the figure and the background in light and middle flat grey tones; much lighter overall. Natural long faces and narrow eyes, about seven heads tall. Few straight background contours and flat grey; no blended shadows. No text, speech balloons, panel borders, signatures or watermarks. Subject: An adult man and woman read an unfolded scroll without lettering in an old study. Tied hair for both, plain traditional robes. Show faces and hands chest-up, a desk and window frame.
