Detailed Description
The image is a full-length portrait of a person seated centrally, facing forward, against a plain light brown background. The person wears an elaborate blue and gold robe with wide sleeves and a tall, ornate hat. The hat is predominantly red with gold embellishments and a black brim, topped with a golden finial. The person's face is pale with delicate features, dark hair visible beneath the hat, and small red lips. A long, multi-strand necklace of small white beads hangs down the front of the robe, reaching below the waist. The robe is richly decorated with intricate patterns in gold, red, green, and white on a dark blue background. Golden dragons and other stylized patterns are visible on the front and sleeves. The wide sleeves have blue cuffs. A long, narrow pink sash with floral embroidery hangs from the waist, extending down the front of the robe. The hem of the robe is wide and features a colorful striped pattern above a dark border. The person is seated on a large, ornate wooden throne or chair with a high back and armrests, carved with dragon-like figures in a light brown or gold color. The seat and back cushions are patterned with green, blue, and red designs. The throne rests on a multi-tiered platform, also in light brown or gold. Below the platform, the floor is covered with a patterned rug in red and light brown, featuring geometric and floral motifs. In the upper right corner of the light brown background, there is a vertical line of black characters.
