Detailed Description
A full-length, black and white portrait depicts a person seated, facing forward, against a plain background. The figure's face is light-toned, with dark, narrow eyes and a small mouth. They wear a dark, wide, flat-topped hat adorned with circular motifs and long, rectangular, multi-tiered ornaments dangling from each side, reaching to the shoulders. The voluminous, long-sleeved robe extends from the neck to the floor. The robe is intricately patterned with large, light-toned dragons amidst dark, swirling clouds and wave-like motifs. The central panel of the robe features two large, circular medallions with additional patterns. The wide, rounded sleeves are also decorated with dragons and clouds. A lighter-toned, patterned border outlines the edges of the robe. The figure appears to be seated on a dark, low, rectangular base with curved supports visible at the bottom of the image. The background is a light, uniform tone with some subtle variations in shading.
