Seated Portrait of Fu Xi is a 1230 unspecified by Ma Lin, held at National Palace Museum.
The painting depicts a seated man with long hair and a beard, wearing a leopard-print robe. He sits on the ground with his legs crossed, facing the viewer. The background is a solid color, with some subtle texture visible. The man's facial expression is calm and contemplative, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. His hands are placed on his lap, and his fingers are long and slender. The leopard-print robe is rendered in intricate detail, with each spot carefully painted. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and wisdom. The subject appears to be lost in thought, and the viewer is invited to share in his contemplation.
