Zhong Kui

A man sits on the left side of the image, facing right. He wears a pink robe with ruffles around the neck and sleeves. The robe appears layered over a fur garment around the neck and shoulders. A black hat adorns his head, featuring two red flowers on top. He has a long black beard and mustache. The man rests his right elbow on a low table in front of him. His right hand supports his chin. A book lies open on the table. To the right of the table are two vases. The taller vase contains branches with a few red flowers. The shorter vase is empty. A decorative stone or sculpture sits between the vases. The background of the image is beige. There is writing on the left side but is too small to read.
