About this work

This portrait is of a man with long hair, wearing a headband and a dark robe. He is shown from the chest up, facing the viewer with a neutral expression. The man's headband is tied in a knot at the side of his head, and his robe appears to be made of a thick, textured material. The background of the portrait is a dark, muted color that helps to focus attention on the subject. This portrait is part of a collection held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
