A vertically oriented ink painting depicts a four-armed figure with a dark skin tone and protruding red tongue facing our left. Sketchy black outlines and flat color washes form their patterned green and pink dress. The figure stands atop a vibrant pink and orange lotus flower. Stylized pink blossoms, yellow scalloped shapes, and a red swirling orb surround them against a white background. A thick pink border frames the scene.
