Ruitenbeek was amazed to notice that apart from their facial features and clothing, the three "Westerners," their postures, positions, the two bats, the ju-i scepter, the peaches, the sword and other features, all completely coincided with the iconology of the traditional Chung K'uei story!
君不見這位虯髯先生與兩位小洋人，除了西服金髮洋面孔，他們的姿勢、畫中部局，與蝙蝠（福）、如意、桃子、佩劍等裝飾，與中國傳統鍾馗畫完全符合，可不是個相貌特別和氣的洋鍾馗呢！
