Detailed Description
This vertical artwork depicts a seated man on the left, with a still life arrangement to his right, against a plain, light beige background. The man, positioned slightly left of center, faces forward with a direct gaze. He has a long, dark beard and mustache, and dark, bushy eyebrows. A small red flower or ornament is visible in his dark hair. He wears voluminous, reddish-orange robes with ruffled edges and a dark, fur-like collar. His hands are clasped in front of him, holding a small, textured, light-colored object. Dark boots are visible beneath his robes. To his left, a long, slender object with a patterned sheath rests against a low, dark, bamboo-like fence or railing. To the right of the man, a collection of objects forms a still life. A tall, dark, ornate stand supports a light blue-green vase containing a branch with red berries or small fruits. Another light blue-green vase holds tall, green, reedy plants. Below these, a small, dark, wooden table or stand holds a basket filled with light-colored fruits and green foliage. Two open books or scrolls with white pages and dark bindings are placed on the table and on the ground in front of it. Vertical lines of dark script are visible in the upper left corner of the artwork, with a red seal below them.
