The Bohemian is a 1861 oil by Edouard Manet, a Realism work, depicting Man, held at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
This painting shows a man with dark hair, wearing a yellow headscarf and a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves. He has a red strap over his shoulder and is holding a brown object, possibly a bag or a musical instrument, with his left hand. The background is a light blue-gray color. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be from the 19th century. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and texture.
