Brief Description
A large robed figure sits above two smaller robed figures in a richly patterned setting
Detailed Description
Three seated figures are depicted in a richly decorated setting. The composition is arranged vertically, with one large figure positioned above two smaller figures. At the top, three golden circular motifs are evenly spaced across a dark green band with subtle patterns. Below this, a vibrant red background with intricate green and gold floral patterns extends downwards. A large central figure is seated on a dark, ornate chair with a patterned cushion, facing slightly towards the viewer's right. This figure wears a long, flowing black robe and a tall, black, pointed hat. The figure has a dark beard and mustache. The right hand holds a white, rectangular scroll or tablet. Behind this figure, a screen features a subtle landscape scene and hangs with multiple white, tassel-like ornaments. Below the central figure, on a green floor adorned with horizontal stripes and subtle patterns, two smaller figures are seated. The figure on the left wears a black robe and a black hat, similar to the central figure, and holds a white object in their hands. The figure on the right has a shaved head and wears a multi-layered robe in shades of green and brown with patterned borders. This figure sits facing left, with hands clasped, holding a white object. The entire image area is framed by a narrow gold border, which is then surrounded by a wider, textured blue border with gold speckles.
