Visual Summary

Brief Description

Seated figure in patterned robes and a topknot, on an aged background with script and a red seal

Detailed Description

A single, full-length figure is depicted seated in the center of a rectangular artwork with a light tan-colored background. The figure is positioned with legs bent and spread, facing slightly to the right, with the body symmetrical from the waist up. The figure wears a layered garment, with the outermost layer being a wide-sleeved robe. This robe is primarily a pale blue or light green color, adorned with a repeating pattern of darker blue, stylized floral or leaf motifs. A wide, pale pink collar or trim outlines the neck and extends down the front opening of the robe. Beneath this, a lighter, possibly white or very pale blue, garment is visible at the chest and sleeves. The lower part of the figure's attire, visible below the robe, appears to be light blue or pale green, possibly wide trousers or a skirt. The figure has a round face with small, dark eyes, a small nose, and a thin, dark line for a mouth. A prominent black topknot hairstyle sits on top of the head, with the hair pulled back from the forehead. The hands are mostly covered by the wide sleeves. On the lower left side of the artwork, vertical lines of dark script are visible, followed by a square red seal impression below the script. The background is a plain, light tan color, showing signs of age with some darker spots and faint horizontal lines.
