Detailed Description
The image is a vertical scroll painting featuring an old man and a deer on a plain, light brown background. The central panel is framed by a dark teal border with a subtle, repeating pattern. The old man stands slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the right side of the frame. He has a long, flowing white beard and mustache, and his skin appears light. He wears a dark, soft cap that covers his head and a dark, wide-sleeved cloak over a long, white robe. The white robe has dark outlines and subtle green and blue decorative elements, including a patterned border near the bottom with geometric shapes and floral motifs. He holds a gnarled, dark brown wooden staff vertically in his right hand, which is positioned in front of his chest. His left hand is mostly obscured by the folds of his robe. To the right of the man stands a white deer, facing left towards the man. The deer has small, branched antlers and its head is positioned roughly at the man's waist level. Its body is depicted in a soft white, with minimal shading. A small, square red seal is visible near the deer's hind legs, along with some faint, vertical, dark script. The figures occupy the lower two-thirds of the central panel, leaving a significant amount of empty, light brown space above them.
