A powerful looking man in a gold robe with red and blue trim, with a long black mustache and beard, sits looking outward, one hand on his knee and another on his elaborate belt. The background resembles a blue and gold brocade. The text at the top reads Perpetual Happiness, and over the lower part of his robe, The Ming Emperor Yongle, followed by the author’s name, by Shih-shan Henry Tsai.
