This painting shows a man in bright, colorful clothes. He wears a red turban, a yellow shirt, and a long white skirt with gold trim. His right hand holds a small object, and his left hand rests on a sword at his side. The background is a light green with a simple frame, and around it are painted flowers and plants in soft colors. The man’s outfit looks formal, almost like a uniform, which might mean he held a special role. The painting is framed by delicate, detailed flowers that fill the empty space around the portrait. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this painting is kept.
