Detailed Description
The painting depicts a man seated in profile, facing right, within an architectural setting. The man occupies the lower center of the main scene. He has dark skin, a full dark beard, and a dark mustache. He wears a white turban, a long white robe, and a white sash draped over his left shoulder and across his chest. His hands are clasped together in front of him, resting on his knees. He is seated cross-legged on a light purple rug patterned with small orange and green floral motifs. Behind the man is a white balustrade or railing with a repeating geometric pattern. Above the railing, the background is a solid light blue. The man and his immediate setting are framed by a white arch on the left and a straight white border on the right. This central scene is enclosed by several borders. Immediately around the scene is a thin black line, followed by a thin yellow line. Above the blue background, there is a horizontal rectangular panel with a reddish-orange background patterned with small dark brown or black dots. This panel is bordered by a thin yellow line and a thin black line. The entire artwork is surrounded by a wide, light pink border with a speckled texture.
