Visual Summary

Brief Description

Seated figure in dark robe and headpiece holds light object, patterned papers nearby

Detailed Description

The artwork features a single figure seated on a plain, light tan background. The figure is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the right and looking downwards. He has a round face, dark hair pulled into a topknot, and wears a black, curved headpiece. He is dressed in a loose, dark, long-sleeved robe that covers most of his body. Beneath the robe, a white garment with a black and white checkered pattern is visible at his knees. In his right hand, he holds a slender, light pink or beige rectangular object, possibly a folded fan or a small scroll, angled downwards. To his right, on the ground, are several white, folded papers or scrolls, each adorned with a repeating pattern of dark-outlined circles containing smaller, intricate designs. In the lower right corner, there is a vertical column of dark, calligraphic text, below which is a square red seal.
