Visual Summary

Brief Description

Profile portrait of an older man with a topknot, wearing a robe, holding a sword hilt

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait depicts an older man in profile, facing left, against a plain, light beige background. The man occupies the upper half of the composition, with his head slightly above the center. He has a bald head with a dark, tightly pulled back topknot. His face, rendered in light pinkish-brown tones, shows a prominent nose, a thin dark mustache, and a small dark beard. Dark lines define his eyes, which look straight ahead, and subtle wrinkles are visible on his forehead and around his eyes. His ear is also visible. He wears a loose-fitting, light-colored robe, possibly off-white or very light beige, outlined with dark, fluid ink lines that suggest folds and draping fabric. The robe is tied at the waist with a sash. Near his left hip, the dark hilt of a sword or dagger is visible, tucked into the folds of his garment.
