Figure of a scholar

Figure of a scholar by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a seated male figure carved from white jade or stone with a smooth, glossy finish. The man is sitting on the floor with his legs bent and folded under his body. He wears a long robe with folds and creases carved into the material. His right elbow rests on his right knee, and his left hand appears to be holding a cylindrical object up to his mouth. The figure has a hairstyle that appears to be tied back. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
