Detailed Description
The artwork depicts a single figure in a posed stance against a light, muted background. The figure, with fair skin and long dark hair, wears a green headpiece and predominantly white robes with subtle, intricate patterns. Red accents are visible at the waist and sleeves, along with blue details and a blue and white fan-like element near the lower waist. The figure's left arm is raised, while the right hand holds a long, dark bow. A quiver filled with arrows is visible behind the left shoulder, and a red-sheathed sword is tucked into the waist. The figure's legs are clad in red and white striped coverings or boots. The background depicts gentle green hills with scattered dark green pine trees, particularly in the lower half and along the right side. In the lower left corner, there is a small section of black text and a red square seal. The entire painting is bordered by a wide, patterned gold fabric.
