Detailed Description
A single male figure is seated on a light-colored mat, facing the right side of the frame. The figure's body is angled slightly, with his head turned in profile, looking upwards and right. He has a light skin tone, narrow eyes, a dark mustache, and a small dark beard. He wears a dark, possibly black, cap that covers his hair. His attire consists of multiple layers of robes. The innermost layer appears to be a light, possibly off-white or cream, fabric. Over this, he wears a darker, reddish-brown outer robe with a blue trim along the edges of the sleeves and collar. A dark sash is tied around his waist. His hands are partially obscured by the sleeves, but he appears to be holding a dark, curved object, possibly a sword hilt or scabbard, in his right hand. To his right, a green, textured object with a decorative pattern is visible, possibly part of his garment or an accessory. Below the seated figure, a dark, rectangular platform or bench with openwork designs is depicted. On the floor in front of this platform, two light-colored shoes are placed. These shoes have pointed toes and appear to be trimmed with white fur or a similar material around the ankles. The background of the painting is a plain, light brown or tan color. The overall texture of the painting surface is visible, indicating it is painted on fabric.
