About this work

This painting shows a man in a flowing white robe, standing on a red-and-gold patterned carpet. He holds a black fan in one hand and a curved object in the other, wearing a turban and jewelry. The background is a simple green wall with a blue sky and clouds at the top, and there’s a border of red with floral designs. The man’s face glows softly, like a halo, which stands out against the bright colors. The painting looks like it was made to show someone important, but the details are simple and clean. This style comes from the Victoria and Albert Museum, where you can see more paintings like it.
