Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting depicts a full-length standing figure against a plain, light tan background. The figure is positioned centrally, facing slightly to the viewer's left with their head turned to the right. They have pale skin, a small mouth, narrow eyes, and thin eyebrows. Their dark hair is pulled back into a bun, adorned with a small, light-colored ornament. The figure wears multiple layers of robes. The outermost robe is wide and voluminous, featuring white fabric with thin horizontal stripes of red, brown, and light blue. Beneath this, a dark red garment is visible, patterned with white and pink chrysanthemums and green leaves. A section of dark blue or teal fabric is visible on the lower right side of the figure's attire. A brown sash is tied around the waist, with its ends hanging down. The hands are clasped together at waist level, partially obscured by the wide sleeves. The lower part of the robe covers the feet. The central painting is framed by decorative borders. The top and bottom borders are dark with small gold and light blue fan-like or leaf motifs. The wider side borders are light tan, featuring a repeating pattern of light blue wavy lines and stylized white and light brown foliage. Small, vertical script is visible on the right side of the plain background, near the figure's lower body.
