About this work

This portrait shows a man with long, curly hair and a red robe over a white shirt. He is looking to his left, and his right hand is resting on his stomach. The man's face is serious, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
