DescriptionA violet-hooded man with a billowy, full-length white cape is kneeling in a belted, aqua robe in front of a stylized, leaning tree with puffy white blossoms. The man's garment is decorated with the image of an antelopelike creature in full stride. The figure's long-nailed fingers are gesturing toward the vessel in front of him, which has perhaps petals and pebbles strewn nearby. The clouds trailing across the top, left corner of the composition denote a windy day, as do the trailing ends of the brown band around his forehead which holds what could possible be a blossom.
