Visual Summary

Brief Description

A seated figure in voluminous robes and a dark cap, with vertical script, framed by decorative borders

Detailed Description

The artwork depicts a seated figure, rendered in a simple, almost monochromatic style on a light gray or off-white background. The figure occupies the lower central portion of the main panel. The figure is shown facing forward, with a round face, small eyes, and a small mouth. A dark, flat-topped cap covers the head. The body is clad in voluminous, layered robes, primarily outlined in dark lines with minimal shading, suggesting a light color. The legs are folded beneath the figure, and the hands are not visible. In the upper left quadrant of the main panel, vertical script is written in black ink. The script reads: "清画" followed by a longer passage of smaller characters. The central panel is bordered by decorative elements. Immediately above and below the main panel are narrow, dark brown bands adorned with repeating gold floral or abstract patterns. Beyond these brown bands, the artwork is further framed by wider, green borders on all four sides, featuring a repeating pattern of gold floral motifs.
