About this work

This painting shows a man sitting cross-legged on a red and blue platform. He has a green halo and wears a white robe with red trim. His right hand is raised, and his left hand rests on his knee. The background is a blue-green color with many small figures and scenes. The man is surrounded by a red and blue archway, and there are many other figures and scenes in the background. The overall effect is one of great detail and complexity.
