This drawing shows a man in a red coat and gold buttons, carrying a silver tray with two bottles and a glass. His light-colored pants have a stripe down the side, and he’s wearing black shoes. The background is plain white, so all focus is on him. The tray he’s holding looks heavy—maybe he’s a servant or a butler. The way he’s dressed suggests this was made a long time ago, when fancy uniforms like that were common. If you like this style, check out the Romanticism movement next.
