This drawing shows a man carrying a round tray of colorful sweets. He’s dressed in bright, simple clothes—a red hat, striped shirt, blue pants, and red shoes. In his other hand, he holds a broom, and his face has a calm, slightly smiling expression. The tray looks like a gift, maybe for a celebration. The colors of the sweets pop against the plain background, making them stand out. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
