Detailed Description
A grayscale painting depicts a full-length, slender person standing against a plain, light-toned background. The figure is oriented slightly to the right, with their head turned to face forward. They have pale skin, a small mouth, and narrow, elongated eyes with arched eyebrows. Their dark hair is styled in an elaborate, high bun adorned with a small, dark decorative element at the top and a larger, white, curved ornament on the side. The person wears a long, flowing, dark-colored robe with wide sleeves, cinched at the waist by a darker sash. Lighter-colored inner layers are visible at the hem and sleeve openings, creating contrast. The right hand, with long, delicate fingers, holds a small, open fan with visible markings. The left hand is partially obscured, tucked into the folds of the robe. The lower part of the robe flares out, revealing white footwear with a pointed toe.
