The glaze on the concave underside appears pale blue. The low, approximately circular scrolled base is pierced by five openings at the front. The man stands with his feet turned out and wide apart. He turns to his left and holds his right fingers up to his chin. His left hand holds his gown across his body. He has brown hair, with his queue in a black bag, and wears a white shirt, a long dressing gown of pale mauve fabric decorated with dark mauve and turquoise stylised flower heads, and having dark blue cuffs with gold edges and a turquoise lining. His dark blue breeches are decorated with red and gold floral motifs in reserves, and he has red slippers. The top of the base is decorated with two applied flowers and leaves, and the scrolls are picked out in turquoise, green, and gold.
