This painting shows a dark, blocky figure sitting on a bench under a starry night sky. The figure has a tall, pointed hat and a red sash around its waist, with one arm resting on its knee. Behind it, a purple sky swirls with white streaks and yellow stars. The artist used bold, flat colors and simple shapes to create this image. It looks like it was drawn quickly, with loose brushstrokes in the background. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
