Visual Summary

Brief Description

A standing figure with long hair, beard, flowing robes, holding a decorated staff

Detailed Description

A full-length standing figure is depicted in a monochrome ink drawing on light-colored paper. The figure is positioned centrally, facing forward, with a slight tilt to the head. A faint circular halo appears behind the figure's head. The figure has long, flowing hair extending past the shoulders, and a full beard and mustache. A small, ornate crown or headdress sits on top of the head. The face features narrow, elongated eyes, a small nose, and a closed mouth. Large, elongated earlobes are visible. The figure wears loose, flowing robes with wide sleeves that obscure the body shape. The left hand, with visible fingers, grasps a long, slender staff or sword hilt held vertically in front of the body. The staff is decorated with intricate patterns and what appear to be small, round elements along its length. The right arm is mostly covered by the voluminous sleeve, with only a hint of a hand near the staff. The robes fall in soft folds, revealing two bare feet at the bottom, with distinct toes. The background is plain and unadorned, with some faint discoloration on the paper. The lines are drawn with varying thickness, creating a sense of depth and movement in the drapery.
