A hanging scroll depicts a full-length portrait of a seated man with a shaved head, turned slightly to our left. He is enveloped in voluminous black robes and wears a white patterned stole across his chest. He holds a yellow fan, with a small sword tucked at his waist. Below the patterned platform where he sits, a pair of brown sandals rests against a tall, dark, monochromatic background.
