The image is a sculpture of a seated figure of a man. The figure is made of ceramic and is black and white in color. It is sitting on a black base with intricate designs around the edges. The man is wearing a traditional Chinese robe with a black hat on his head. He has a white beard and mustache and is holding a book in his hands. He appears to be deep in thought, with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression on his face. The sculpture is displayed on a white pedestal.
