Visual Summary

Brief Description

Bald figure in white robe, green sash, seated on paper with vertical script, red seal

Detailed Description

A single, bald figure is seated centrally on a light brown, rectangular sheet of paper. The figure faces slightly to the left, with a light-skinned face and a neutral expression. They are dressed in a long, flowing white robe that covers their body and legs. A sash or undergarment, visible around their waist and chest, features a pattern of green and brown geometric shapes. The lower part of the white robe, draped over their legs, has a subtle, light green or grey circular pattern. The figure is seated cross-legged, with their hands resting in their lap, and a small red string or tassel is visible near their left hand. To the right of the figure, a vertical column of black script is present, accompanied by a square red seal below it. The light brown paper on which the figure sits has some lighter, faded areas, particularly above and to the left of the figure, and its edges appear slightly worn and uneven.
