About this work

This painting shows a man with long, dark hair and a white shirt with billowy sleeves. He's holding a red bagpipe in his left hand and a stick in his right. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's shirt is open at the chest, showing some hair. His face is serious, and he's looking straight ahead. The bagpipe has a red bag and a long pipe that curves down. The stick he's holding has a red top. This painting is by Thomas Bridgford.
