Visual Summary

Brief Description

A robed figure with a halo stands on clouds and a lotus, holding an ornate staff

Detailed Description

A vertical scroll painting depicts a standing figure against a dark, almost black background. The figure, positioned centrally, has light-toned skin and a bald head. The figure's face has a calm, neutral expression. Behind the head is a large golden halo with radiating lines extending outwards. The figure wears long, flowing robes in dark tones with intricate gold patterns, and accents of dark green are visible on the sleeves and lower garment. The left hand holds a tall, slender staff with an ornate finial at its top, while the right hand is extended forward, palm facing upwards. Below the figure's feet, dark, swirling clouds are depicted, from which a large, vibrant pink lotus flower emerges, supporting the figure's right foot. The entire composition is framed by a series of decorative borders: an inner narrow brown band with gold patterns, and an outer wider dark green band adorned with repeating gold floral motifs.
