Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical scroll featuring a full-length portrait of a man positioned in the lower half, beneath a large block of vertical calligraphy. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The man stands facing forward, with his head slightly turned to his right. He has a bald head, a dark mustache, and a dark goatee. He wears a long, light blue robe with wide sleeves that extend to his ankles. The robe features a dark collar and dark cuffs. His right hand is slightly raised, holding a string of white beads. His left hand is mostly obscured, tucked into his left sleeve. He wears dark, pointed shoes. Above the man, in the upper left portion of the scroll, is a substantial block of vertical text written in black calligraphic script. Below this main text, to its right, is a smaller vertical inscription accompanied by two red square seals. In the lower right corner of the scroll, another vertical inscription and two red square seals are visible.
