Full-length black and white portrait of a seated person in a dark robe with an ornate chest panel
A full-length, black and white portrait depicts a seated person facing directly forward. The figure is centrally positioned against a plain, textured background that appears lighter than their attire. The person has an oval-shaped face with dark hair pulled back from the forehead, and faint facial features are visible. They wear a dark, voluminous robe with wide sleeves that covers most of their body, extending to the lower edge of the frame. The robe features a prominent rectangular panel on the chest, which is lighter in tone and displays intricate imagery. This panel appears to show birds, possibly cranes, amidst clouds and landscape elements. The person's hands are not clearly visible, seemingly clasped or hidden within the folds of the sleeves around the waist area. Hints of a patterned fabric, possibly from a chair or throne, are visible on either side of the figure, behind the arms. The intricate details of the chest panel contrast with the otherwise dark garment.
