About this work

This painting shows a colorful figure with a golden crown and red face, dressed in bright yellow and red clothes. The figure holds a pink lotus in one hand and has a green feathered fan in the other. The background is a simple blue sky with a brown ground, and the edges of the painting look a bit worn. The figure’s outfit is packed with detailed patterns and jewels, making it look very decorative. The bright colors and bold lines stand out clearly.
