Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a seated, bald, bearded man against a dark, muted background. The man is positioned slightly to the right of center, facing towards the right side of the frame with an upward gaze. His skin is a light brown tone, and he has a short, dark beard and mustache. He wears layered robes; the innermost layer appears light-colored, while an outer robe is dark brown with a repeating circular pattern in lighter brown and gold. A prominent tiger-striped fabric, in shades of dark brown and black, is draped over his lower body and legs. His right hand, with fingers slightly curled, holds a long, slender object that resembles a scroll or staff, extending downwards. His left hand rests on a red and gold dragon-like creature with a scaly body and a prominent head, positioned near his lap. The background is a dark, mottled brown, with faint, darker outlines of what appear to be tree branches or foliage in the upper half. In the upper left corner, there is a column of faint, dark vertical text. The overall color palette is subdued, dominated by browns, dark reds, and muted golds.
