This painting shows a man sitting on a chair with a red cushion. He’s dressed in a dark coat with a white collar, holding a folded paper or cloth in his left hand. Behind him, a red curtain frames the scene, and the background is soft and blurry. The artist used watercolor to keep the colors gentle and the details soft. The man’s face is calm, with light catching his cheekbones. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
