明太祖坐像(一) 軸 is an unspecified by Unknown, depicting Hongwu Emperor, held at National Palace Museum.
The painting depicts a man in traditional Chinese attire, seated on a chair with dragons carved into the backrest. He wears a hat adorned with intricate designs and holds a scroll in his hands. The man's robes are yellow, and he has a green sash around his waist. The background of the painting is a light brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be engaged in thought. The dragons on the chair's backrest are red and gold, adding a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who specialize in traditional Chinese portraiture, such as those held at the National Palace Museum.
