This drawing shows a person wrapped in a long, patterned cloth with blue and white checks on top and dark blue stripes below. Their face is covered except for the eyes, and they’re wearing bright red slippers with yellow soles. The background is plain and light, keeping all focus on the figure. The clothing looks practical for warmth, with the hood pulled up and the fabric draped loosely. The bright slippers add a small but striking detail. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
