A hanging scroll depicts a man with light skin tone seated turned to our right on a raised platform, leaning his head on his hand with eyes closed. He wears a green robe with floral patterns and a dark cap. Before him, an open book, cup, and rounded vessel rest on a low wooden table. Behind him, a screen displays a landscape beside a decorative pillar and foliage. Patterned borders frame the scene.
