Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a man standing centrally against a plain, light beige background. The man has light skin, a dark mustache, and a dark goatee. He wears a brown fur hat with a red brim, topped by a red finial with a gold element and a long blue-green feather extending from the back. His main garment is a dark blue or purple long robe with wide sleeves, reaching to his ankles. The robe features a wide, multicolored, scalloped collar with intricate patterns in blue, green, and white. On the chest of the robe is a square embroidered panel depicting a white crane standing amidst colorful clouds and waves, framed by a multicolored border. A long necklace of red beads with a single green pendant hangs around his neck, extending down the front of the robe. The cuffs of his sleeves are patterned in blue, white, and green. Beneath the robe, a bright blue skirt-like garment with horizontal white stripes is visible. He wears black shoes with light-colored soles. Vertical Chinese characters are written in dark ink on the upper right side of the background, reading "此是頭品文官仙鶴補服". Smaller red Chinese characters are present on the lower left, reading "同治四年".
