Detailed Description
The artwork is divided vertically into two main sections. The left section features a man shown from the chest up, against a plain, light brown background. The man wears a dark, possibly black, hat with two long, thin, dark ribbons extending downwards behind his ears. He has a full, dark beard and mustache. His face shows light skin with reddish cheeks and lips, and his eyes are narrow and dark. He wears a dark, possibly gray or brown, outer garment with a bright red collar visible around his neck. In front of him, he holds a tall, narrow, light-colored rectangular object vertically, its top reaching above his shoulder. The man's gaze is directed slightly to the left. The right section of the artwork has a lighter, off-white background and is filled with multiple columns of vertical black text. Several small, square or rectangular red seals are stamped intermittently within the columns of text.
