This drawing shows a man in fancy clothes, standing sideways. He’s wearing a tall, feathered hat with a black object tucked under the feathers. His robe is mostly white with gold swirls and a dark fur trim on the shoulders. The background is plain, just a light wash of color. The feathered hat and the way he holds his hand suggest he might be someone important. The artist used soft watercolors to keep it simple but detailed. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
