Detailed Description
A standing figure is depicted centrally against a dark background. The figure faces forward with its head slightly turned to the viewer's left. A faint, light blue-green halo encircles the figure's head. The figure has a pale complexion, with dark hair visible beneath an elaborate golden headdress adorned with small, colorful elements. Long, sheer, light-colored drapery flows from the headdress down past the shoulders. The upper body is adorned with multiple necklaces and pendants, including a prominent gold-colored piece with dangling elements over the chest. The figure's chest is partially exposed, revealing pale skin. The left hand, held at chest height, delicately grasps a leafy green branch. The right hand is raised slightly, palm facing forward. The figure wears layered robes in various colors. An inner garment appears red with white patterns, while an outer robe is predominantly green with blue accents and intricate gold-colored patterns. Sheer, light-colored fabric drapes over the arms and down the sides of the body, creating a translucent effect. The lower part of the figure's body is obscured by the flowing robes, which pool around the feet. The figure stands on a base composed of stylized, colorful clouds or lotus petals in shades of red, green, and blue. The dark background shows signs of age and fading. A narrow, decorative border with small patterns frames the painting on the left and right sides.
