Seated portrait of a man dressed in garments that are typically worn by Chinese government officials during this era. The mandarin square, or rank badge, sewn to the front of his coat indicates his rank. He holds a fan in one hand and rests his other hand on an ornate table next to him, holding a snuff bottle.
