About this work

This painting depicts a monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, wearing a long robe with a blue and white pattern. He has a large halo behind his head and is surrounded by green leaves at the top of the image. The monk's attire is detailed, with a black sash around his waist and blue and white shoes on his feet. The background of the painting is a muted brown color, which complements the earthy tones of the monk's robe. The monk's serene expression and peaceful surroundings evoke a sense of calm.
