Brief Description

An elderly man in a patterned robe and black cap, sitting cross-legged

Detailed Description

A full-length painting depicts an elderly man sitting cross-legged on a plain, light brown background. The man faces forward, with his head slightly turned to the left. He has a light complexion, a white beard, and white hair visible around his ears. A black, somewhat pointed cap sits on top of his head. He wears a light green robe adorned with a repeating pattern of dark gray or black circles, each containing smaller white circles. A white garment is visible beneath the robe, particularly around his chest and arms. Red fabric peeks out from under the bottom edges of his robe, near his knees. A dark blue sash or tie is visible at his waist. His hands rest on his knees. On the right side of the background, vertical lines of black text are present, with a red square seal directly below them. Faint, small dark dots are arranged vertically on the left side of the background.
