This drawing shows a man in colorful, loose clothes selling sweets. He wears a red hat, a striped shirt, and bright red shoes. In one hand, he holds a wooden tray full of small, round treats. His other hand grips a broom, likely for cleaning up crumbs. The title says he’s a "Vendor of Sweetmeats," which matches what he’s carrying. The painting feels lively, with bold colors and simple lines. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
