The image depicts a vertical hanging scroll painting. The painting shows a seated man with a long white beard wearing a hat and loose robes. He sits on a low stool with his knees drawn up. The figure is drawn in black ink on a cream-colored background. The man is positioned on the lower half of the painting, rendered in a simple and expressive style with bold brushstrokes. A red seal is visible to the right of the figure. The border of the painting is brown with a gold pattern. The overall style of the painting suggests it is a traditional Japanese work, specifically a depiction of Jurōjin, a deity associated with longevity. The artist's signature and seal are consistent with the work of Kano Tsunenobu.
