Brief Description
Monochromatic portrait on a scroll of a person with elaborate dark hair and a draped garment
Detailed Description
A monochromatic vertical scroll features a portrait of a person from the chest up, positioned slightly to the right of the central axis. The person's head is turned slightly to the right, with their gaze directed downwards. Their dark hair is styled in a prominent, rounded bun that extends upwards in a crescent shape, with a smaller bun visible at the back of the head. The face is rendered with delicate, faint lines, showing closed or downcast eyes, a subtle nose, and a small mouth. The person wears a garment with flowing, draped lines, indicated by dark outlines over the shoulders and chest. The central panel, which is a uniform light gray, contains several columns of dark, vertical text in the upper right quadrant. This central image is framed by a decorative border on all four sides, featuring a repeating pattern of light-colored floral or leaf motifs against a slightly darker background. The entire artwork is presented in shades of black, white, and gray.
