The image depicts a seated man wearing a Chinese-style robe and headband, holding an object. The man has a long beard and mustache. He sits on a platform with a fur-like backrest. His right arm rests on his knee, and he holds what looks like a scroll or a weapon in his hand. The man wears a belt around his waist. The background of the image features Chinese characters written in black ink. The image has a beige background with a slightly darker beige border around it. The overall composition suggests a traditional Asian art style, specifically Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing, given the mention of Katsushika Hokusai.
