This man stands leaning on a ledge, holding a small fan. He wears a bright red hat, a long pink coat over a striped shirt, and blue pants tucked into red slippers. His mustache is thick, and he looks off to the side, as if lost in thought. Notice how the artist used soft watercolors to show light and shadow on his face and clothes. The background is plain, keeping all the focus on him. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
