Detailed Description
A painting depicts a standing figure centered within a circular frame, set against a plain, light brown background. The figure, a man, faces forward with a long, dark beard and a mustache. He wears a light-colored, patterned robe with red and blue-gray accents, and a golden head covering. His bare feet are visible below the robe. In his right hand, he holds a long, slender staff topped with a red, spear-like finial and a red tassel. In his left hand, he holds another long staff with an ornate, multi-pronged top. The circular frame surrounding the figure features an inner band with a repeating dark brown geometric key pattern on a gold background. The outer band of the frame is composed of repeating red-brown, scalloped, or cloud-like motifs, also outlined in gold. The background within the circular frame is a textured, brownish-gold, while the area outside the circle is a slightly darker, uniform brownish-gray. A small red seal-like mark is visible in the bottom right corner outside the circle.
