A full-length depiction of a standing man in long robes holding a flowering branch
Detailed Description
The artwork depicts a standing man against a plain, light beige background. The man is positioned centrally, facing forward with his head slightly turned to his right. He has a light complexion, a dark mustache, and a short, dark beard. He wears a dark, tall hat with a complex, possibly layered, shape. His long, flowing robes are primarily a light cream or off-white color. A dark grey or black cape-like garment covers his shoulders, and a red sash or band crosses his chest from his left shoulder to his right hip. Light blue-green fabric is visible at the cuffs of his sleeves and along the bottom hem of his robe. His hands are mostly concealed within the wide sleeves of his robe. His left hand, holding a slender branch with small white flowers, emerges slightly from the sleeve. The branch extends upwards and to his left. The man's feet, clad in dark shoes, are visible beneath the hem of his robe. In the lower left corner, a vertical line of dark script and a red square seal are present. The artwork is framed by a light brown border with a repeating pattern of small, light gold floral motifs at the top and bottom.
