Portrait of the artist’s great-granduncle Yizhai at the age of eighty-five
The image depicts a seated man wearing a blue robe and a black hat. The man has a white goatee and mustache. He sits on a red chair with a curved back and armrests, wearing a long blue robe with wide sleeves and a belt around his waist. The robe has a subtle pattern of vertical stripes on the lower half. His legs are covered by the robe, and he wears red shoes. The background of the image is a solid brown color, with a beige border around the edges. There are some Chinese characters written vertically on the left side of the image. The overall style of the image suggests it is a traditional Chinese painting.
