Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a person seated, facing directly forward against a plain, light brown background. The person has light skin, an oval face, dark eyes, and a small mouth, with no visible hair. They wear a tall, dark hat with a wide red brim and a red finial on top. Long, multi-strand beaded necklaces, featuring red, green, and blue beads, hang over the chest. The person is dressed in an elaborate, dark-colored robe, possibly black or deep blue, extensively embroidered with gold dragons, clouds, and other intricate motifs. The robe has red trim on the shoulders and a gold-patterned collar. The lower part of the robe features a wide band of colorful vertical stripes in red, blue, green, and white, above a wavy pattern and stylized architectural or mountain-like forms. The person is seated on a dark, ornate throne or chair with a patterned base, which is visible at the bottom of the image.
