Visual Summary

Brief Description

Line drawing of a standing figure in elaborate robes, with a halo and a lotus pedestal

Detailed Description

A black and white line drawing depicts a full-length standing figure facing forward. A large circular halo is behind the figure's head, with a smaller, incomplete circle directly above it. The figure wears an elaborate headdress with intricate details and flowing elements. Faint lines suggest facial features. Long, multi-layered robes drape over the body, creating numerous folds and curves that extend to the ground. The figure's hands are visible; one is slightly raised with fingers extended, and the other appears to hold a small, indistinct object or make a gesture. Adornments, possibly jewelry, are visible around the neck and arms. The figure's bare feet rest on a multi-petaled lotus flower pedestal, intricately drawn with several layers of petals. The overall composition is symmetrical, emphasizing the central figure and the flowing lines of the drapery.
