Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a seated figure against a plain, dark brown background. The figure is positioned centrally, cross-legged, upon a large, multi-layered lotus pedestal rendered in pale gold and off-white tones. The figure wears long, flowing robes in muted gold and brown hues, draped over the head and body, revealing a light-skinned face with downcast eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. A faint golden halo encircles the head. A dark, beaded necklace is visible on the chest. The figure's left hand holds a small, dark, elongated object near the chest, while the right hand rests on the right knee with the palm facing upwards and fingers slightly curled. To the right of the figure, at waist level, is a small, stylized white lotus flower or flame-like motif. The painting is enclosed within a lighter, patterned border featuring a subtle floral design, which is then framed by a darker, plain outer border.
