The image depicts a Japanese-style painting of Jurōjin by Kano Tanshin (Moromichi). The painting shows an elderly man with a long white beard wearing a black hat, a white robe with black trim and green lining, and a dark brown shawl. He holds a staff with a dragon-like carving at the top in his right hand. The man stands beside a white deer with antlers. The background of the painting is beige, surrounded by a green border with a gold pattern. The border has a black frame. The bottom of the robe has a design with blue and white colors. The man's clothing and the staff suggest that he is a representation of Jurōjin, a figure associated with longevity.
