A painting depicts a large, central figure of a man with a bald head and white skin. He wears a red robe under a brown robe and sits on a red stool. He holds a cloth in his hands. The man sits on top of a mass of swirling cloud-like material with green plant-like material on the left. He is surrounded by multiple smaller figures on clouds and in varying sitting positions. Some are on their knees while others have one leg tucked under the other. The figures wear simple robes of red, brown, beige, and tan. Some have their hands in prayer position. The background includes a yellow border around the painting. The painting is on a light-colored surface with a subtle texture. There are clouds behind the sitting monks on the top row. The painting shows signs of wear.
