The story of this work

Overview

A full-length, hand-colored lithograph depicts a gentleman in Spanish-style costume. The figure wears a rust-colored fitted short jacket and wide, ankle-length trousers, both trimmed with silver and black bands, over a loose white shirt with a trailing white sash at the waist. A small black cap, adorned with red feather plumes and secured under the chin with a thin strap, completes the attire. The print is attributed to Alexandre Lacauchie and printed by J. Rigo et Cie, part of the Harry Beard Collection.
