Detailed Description
The image is a vertical rectangle framed by a thick red border. It depicts a man seated in a garden setting. In the lower half, a yellow rug features an intricate pattern of red and green floral motifs. On the right side of the rug, a hookah with a red base and a long, curved dark hose is placed, extending towards the man's mouth. The man is seated on a large, ribbed, pink cushion on the left side of the rug. He is shown in profile, facing right, with his right leg bent and his left leg tucked under him. He has a dark beard and mustache and wears a white turban with a red and white striped band and a black feather. His upper body is bare except for multiple strands of white pearls and a white sash across his chest. A dagger with a white hilt is tucked into his waistband. He wears light orange or pink trousers. His right hand holds the mouthpiece of the hookah hose to his lips. Behind the man and the rug, a low, dark blue wall or fence separates the foreground from the background. To the left, a dark green tree with a visible trunk stands. To the right, a large green bush with numerous small red flowers is depicted. The sky above is a light mint green, with a band of dark blue and white clouds at the very top. Two small, dark birds are shown in flight in the upper right portion of the sky.
