About this work

This man stands in a desert-like spot. He wears a long white robe with red trim, a red hat, and a blue headwrap. One hand holds a tall spear, the other rests on his hip. His bare feet sit on rough ground with a few plants around. His outfit looks simple but clean. The colors are bright against the pale background. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used emotion in their work.
