A King of Hell?

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a weathered statue of a seated man by an unknown artist titled "A King of Hell?". The statue shows a man sitting on a throne-like chair, wearing a traditional Chinese robe with a red collar and cuffs, and a green body adorned with gold designs. He has a white goatee and is dressed in a hat. His right hand rests on his forehead, while his left hand is placed on his knee. The statue appears to be made of wood and exhibits signs of aging, with chipped paint revealing the underlying material. The background features a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray towards the bottom. The statue is shown from the front, with the man sitting on a low platform. The throne-like chair has curved legs and a curved back. The man's robe has a red lining visible at the neckline and sleeves. The hat is tall and flat on top, with a curved brim. The man's facial expression is calm, with a subtle smile.
