About this work

This painting shows a man in a military uniform, turned slightly away. His hat has a yellow band and a dark peak, and his collar has red and gold trim. The background is plain and light, keeping focus on his face and shoulders. The artist used loose brushstrokes, especially on the hat and jacket, giving it a quick, sketchy feel. The face is more detailed, with soft shading around the eyes and mouth. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
