Detailed Description
A watercolor painting on a plain white background depicts a single figure working with tools and materials. The person, with a shaved head, wears a dark blue tunic and light green trousers, and sits on a dark brown stool, positioned slightly left of center. They hold a long, thin, dark brown tool in their raised right hand, appearing to strike a small, dark rectangular object resting on a larger, dark rectangular block on the stool between their legs. Their left hand is near the block. To the left of the figure, on the ground, is a dark gray mortar and pestle. To the right of the figure, a dark brown rectangular table stands. On its surface are several small, light green rectangular blocks, a red rectangular box, and a yellow brush. Below this, a smaller, light brown, round, woven table with bamboo-like legs holds a shallow, round, woven tray. The tray contains a pile of small, irregular black shapes on the left side and several rows of small, rectangular black objects on the right side. In the bottom right corner, two small dark characters and the number "47" are visible.
