About this work

A man in a dark blue robe sits at a table, holding a rolled-up paper in one hand. His black hat sits slightly askew, and he stares straight ahead with a serious look. Behind him, a blurry landscape shows a building, a bridge, and trees under a dim sky. The rolled paper might hint at his work—maybe writing or studying. The background looks like a small town near water, but it’s painted loosely, so it’s hard to tell much about it. If you like portraits like this, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more.
