About this work

This painting shows a man dressed in a fancy military outfit. His dark blue jacket has gold buttons and trim, and he wears a bright red hat with gold decorations. His green pants are covered in small red and gold patterns, and he holds a long stick with a red tip in one hand. A gold rope with a tassel hangs from his belt, and he stands on a simple painted ledge. The painting looks like it was made to show off his clothes and rank. The bright colors and careful details suggest someone important. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
