This painting shows a man in bright, simple clothes. He’s wearing a pink jacket with white buttons, white pants, and a red hat. Over his shoulder, he carries a tall flag with yellow and red patterns. His face is serious, and he holds a curved staff in his right hand. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes. The colors are flat and bright, not very detailed. This style was common in sketches from that time. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
