Detailed Description
This vertical artwork depicts a single standing figure, positioned slightly to the right of the central axis, against a plain, light brown background. The figure, seen in three-quarter profile facing left, has dark hair styled into a bun at the back of the head. Their head is bowed, and their gaze is directed downwards. They wear a light blue-grey outer garment with wide sleeves, which is lined with a visible red fabric along the edges of the sleeves and the lower hem. A green sash is tied around the waist. White fabric is visible at the wrists, beneath the outer garment. The figure's feet are partially visible, clad in dark footwear. To the right of the figure, vertically aligned text in a dark script is present on the tan background. The artwork is framed by decorative borders. The top and bottom borders feature a dark blue band with intricate gold floral patterns. The side borders are cream-colored with repeating small, stylized floral or clover-like motifs in red, green, and blue, arranged in vertical rows.
