A drawing of Shen Qingqiu, wearing robes based off of the English translation covers. He holds a fan with his right hand which is obscuring the bottom half of his face, only his eye and part of his nose are visible. With his left hand he holds a leaf. His hair cascades down to the middle of the frame. His robes flow down and out, filling the bottom corners of the frame. The background is a square behind him, inside decorated with slightly transparent bamboo. Nothing is shaded.
