From the collection of Detroit Institute of Arts
This painting shows a man dressed in white, standing in a grassy area. He is wearing a long white coat with a patterned sash around his waist, and a sword hangs from his left side. A circular halo surrounds his head, which is adorned with a turban featuring a long black feather. The man's attire is intricately detailed, with a patterned collar and a large green gemstone around his neck. His hands are clasped together in front of him, and he stands on a patch of grass with red flowers. The background of the painting is a solid green color. The level of detail in the man's clothing and accessories suggests a high level of craftsmanship.
