The image depicts a Luohan painting by an unidentified artist. The painting features a seated figure. The figure is centered and sitting cross-legged on a green and red patterned cloth. The figure has short black hair and a beard, and is wearing a red robe with a bare chest. The figure's right hand rests on their right knee, while their left hand rests on their left knee. The figure sits on a green surface with a few white flowers. Behind the figure is a green circle, possibly a halo. The background of the painting is a light brown color. The painting has a black border with a colorful pattern. There are several Chinese characters written vertically on the left and right sides of the painting. There are also several red seals or stamps on the painting, one on the bottom-right corner, one on the top-right corner, and one on the left side.
