About this work

This painting shows a man standing outdoors near water. He wears a white turban, a dark coat over a light shirt, and loose pants with a belt. His hands hold a stick and a rolled-up cloth, and his feet are in simple sandals. The background has a soft, blurry landscape with hills and a distant shoreline.
