Detailed Description
A man reclines on a sofa in an indoor setting. He is positioned slightly off-center to the left, facing towards the right with his head turned slightly upwards. The man has a full, dark brown beard and a mustache. He wears a large, light-colored turban with a red cap visible underneath. His attire consists of a white, long-sleeved shirt, a red vest, and a long, flowing robe in a deep reddish-brown color. A patterned sash or fabric is draped over his lap. His left arm rests on a cushion, and his right arm is bent, holding a long, slender pipe with a green and white patterned stem. In his left hand, he holds a string of golden beads. His legs are extended, with one foot visible wearing a yellow slipper. Two red slippers are placed on the patterned rug in the foreground. The sofa he reclines on is upholstered in a light brown fabric, with two matching cushions. Behind him, a dark green drapery or wall covers the background. The floor is covered by a richly patterned rug in shades of red, blue, and cream. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting the man's face and clothing.
