Detailed Description
The image depicts a seated man on a vertical scroll. He is positioned centrally, facing forward with a slight turn to his left. The man has a pale complexion, a long white beard that extends to his chest, and a white mustache. His hair is also white, and he has dark eyes. He wears a layered robe: an inner white garment, a blue undergarment visible at the neck and sleeves, and a prominent outer robe of bright red draped over his left shoulder and arm, extending down his right side. A white sash or stole hangs from his left shoulder, partially obscured by the red robe. He holds a long, slender wooden staff diagonally across his body with both hands, the top end extending above his head and the bottom end resting near his feet. He is seated on a dark, possibly black, chair with a high, curved back and armrests. His feet, clad in red shoes with white soles, rest on a dark, ornate footrest. The background is a plain, light cream color. Above the man's head, on the upper right and left sides, are columns of black calligraphic text. Several red seal impressions are visible among the text, particularly on the left side.
