Turbanned, bearded official seated on an elaborate three-sided throne with footstool and surrounded by flowering trees. He is clad in an elaborate turban, and a scarlet robe under a short-sleeved blue coat decorated with gold floral scrolls. The figure holds a cloth in his left hand, and, in his right, hugs an elaborately decorated cushion to his breast. Painting framed on three sides by a wide border ornamented in gold with deer, fox, a lion, and goats amid trees and flowers. Condition good, some abrasion and slight paint loss to the face.
