This sketch shows a man in a long, flowing robe with a blue turban. His clothes are loose and layered, with a red sash peeking out under a draped cloak. One hand holds a folded paper or cloth, and his shoes have green soles. The drawing looks quick and loose, like a sketch made fast. The colors are simple—mostly browns, blues, and a touch of red—with rough shading for depth. If you like this style, check out Romanticism next.
