A seated figure in dark robes and a black headpiece on a patterned cushion, with patterned cloth
Detailed Description
A single figure is seated against a plain, light brown background, positioned slightly to the left of the center and facing towards the right. The figure wears dark robes, possibly black, that cover most of their body, with subtle patterns visible on the fabric. A black headpiece with a ribbon-like element adorns their head. The light-skinned face features a small mustache and a goatee. The figure's legs are crossed, and their feet are covered in white socks and dark, pointed shoes. They sit on a cushion with a black and white checkered pattern. To the right of the figure, a white cloth with a repeating circular pattern, possibly a stylized cloud or floral motif, is spread out on the ground. The background is a uniform light brown or tan color, showing signs of age and wear, including several white patches where the surface material appears to be missing or damaged. In the bottom right corner, a small red rectangular seal and some vertical black script are visible.
