Detailed Description
The faded painting on a light brown, aged surface depicts a standing figure within a natural setting. The central figure, positioned slightly to the left, has dark hair styled with a white flower or ornament on the left side. Their face is light-colored and indistinct. They wear a long, light-colored garment, possibly a robe, with long sleeves. A distinct red ribbon or sash extends vertically down the front of the garment. The figure holds a round, blue, fan-like object in their bent left arm, while their right arm is also bent with the hand near the chest. To the right and behind the figure, several tall, slender bamboo stalks with dark green leaves rise upwards. The background is a muted, earthy brown, with subtle tonal shifts suggesting distant landforms or ground variations.
