A dignified man in ancient Chinese robes stands in a palace courtyard, rendered in traditional ink painting style.

Traditional Chinese ink painting (shui-mo), horizontal format on aged parchment paper. A wealthy Chinese man from ancient times stands in an elegant palace courtyard. He wears finely layered silk robes with flowing sleeves, accented with subtle red ink touches. His posture is dignified and calm, with refined facial features painted in delicate brushstrokes. Behind him, the palace architecture appears in soft monochrome washes: carved wooden pillars, curved tiled roofs, hanging lanterns, and distant pavilions partially veiled in mist. The scene is rendered with expressive black ink, minimal color, fluid calligraphic lines, and the textured appearance of an ancient scroll, matching exactly the style and mood of the previous Nuwa paintings.
