A small red ornament is attached to the forehead. The expression is fierce and dramatic. The performer is wearing a tall, ornate hat in shades of green and gold. The costume is a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns of flowers and geometric designs in shades of green, gold, and blue. The robe has a wide, decorative belt. The performer is standing with one hand raised in a gesture, and the other hand partially visible. The background is a muted yellow color. In the upper right corner, there is some Chinese calligraphy. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of traditional Chinese paintings and prints.
