This painting shows three studies of costumes. On the left, a figure wears a long, dark coat with a sword at their side. In the center, a person is dressed in a vibrant red outfit with a green and white striped sash. On the right, a man sports a red coat with a black and white striped sash and a feathered hat. These costumes are detailed and colorful, with intricate patterns and textures. The artist has carefully rendered the folds and creases of the fabric, giving the impression of depth and dimensionality.
