The Poet Mibu no Tadamine, from a set of album leaves illustrating The Thirty-six Poetic Immortals
The image depicts a Japanese-style painting of a man sitting on the floor. The man wears a blue robe with a red collar and a black headpiece. He sits cross-legged on a checkered cloth, with a long object resting on his left leg and another object behind his right shoulder. The background of the painting is a light-brown color, with a darker brown border at the top and bottom. The border on the left and right sides features a tan and white geometric pattern. There are several lines of Japanese calligraphy on the left and right sides of the painting. The overall composition is simple, with the man centered in the frame. The painting appears to be an album leaf, given its small size and the presence of calligraphy.
