This drawing shows a man in bright, simple colors. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a green jacket, blue pants, and red shoes. One hand holds a wooden stool, while the other lifts his hat like he’s waving. His face is calm, with a slight smile. The text below says he’s a "hot cake seller," which might explain the stool—maybe he uses it to sit or display his wares. The colors pop against the plain background, making him stand out.
