Visual Summary

Brief Description

Seated figure in dark robe with topknot, hand to forehead, next to sword and fan

Detailed Description

The artwork depicts a single figure, seated or kneeling against a plain, light brown background. The figure is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the viewer's left. The figure wears a dark, long-sleeved robe, possibly black or dark brown, which drapes around them. Underneath the robe, hints of red and white fabric are visible, including a checkered pattern on their lower left side. Their hair is styled in a dark topknot. Their right hand is raised to their forehead, with their fingers touching their temple. Their left hand is not clearly visible, but appears to rest on their lap or thigh. To the right of the figure, a sword with a dark scabbard and a light-colored hilt is visible, positioned diagonally. Next to the sword, a large, open fan lies on the ground. The fan is predominantly white or light cream with a pattern of dark brown or black concentric circles. On the far right, vertical lines of dark text are visible, ending with a rectangular red seal at the bottom right corner. The background is a uniform light brown, showing signs of age with scattered darker spots and some lighter, worn areas, particularly along the edges.
