Detailed Description
The image is a vertical scroll painting featuring a central portrait of a figure, likely a man, depicted from the chest up. The man has a dark, short beard and mustache, and dark hair pulled back, revealing a small red dot on his forehead. His skin tone is a light, warm brown. He wears a reddish-orange robe draped over his left shoulder, leaving his right shoulder and upper chest partially exposed. A dark green or grey fabric is draped over his right shoulder. His head is slightly tilted downwards, and his gaze is directed towards the lower left. Behind his head, a faint, lighter brown circular halo or aura is visible against the darker brown background of the central panel. The central rectangular panel is bordered by a narrow, dark blue strip with subtle gold patterns. This inner border is then surrounded by a wider, light green border featuring a repeating pattern of gold chrysanthemum-like flowers. At the very bottom of the scroll, below the green border, there is a narrow orange-brown strip.
