Detailed Description
A single figure is depicted against a plain, light background. The figure occupies the central and lower right portion of the image, angled diagonally. The person has long, straight black hair that cascades down their back and over their shoulders, extending onto their robes. Their face is pale with delicate features, including thin, dark eyebrows, downcast eyes, a small nose, and a small red mouth. They wear multiple layers of richly patterned robes. The outermost robe is predominantly red, adorned with intricate patterns of gold, blue, and white floral and geometric motifs. Beneath this, layers of lighter-colored fabric are visible, including a light blue robe with small, repeating patterns, and sections of white fabric with subtle designs. Further layers feature bold black and white geometric patterns, resembling checks or waves. The sleeves and folds of the robes are voluminous. The long black hair is intertwined with the folds of the light blue and patterned robes. The background is a uniform, light beige or tan color.
