This watercolor shows a man in rich, colorful clothes. He’s sitting cross-legged, wearing a tall fur hat, a red-and-white striped shirt, and a purple robe. His face is serious, with a dark beard and mustache. In his lap, he holds a red bow and a curved sword. The painting’s loose brushstrokes make the colors blend softly, giving it a warm, sketchy feel. The artist focused on the man’s strong presence and bold outfit. Next, look up Gagarin, Grigoriy Grigorievich (Prince) to see more of his work.
