A servant holding an umbrella is a 1860 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man standing outside. He wears a white robe with a green scarf, a red hat, and red shoes. One hand holds a folded blue umbrella, the other rests on his hip. The ground looks dry, with a faint hill in the background. The bright colors stand out against the plain background. His clothes look simple but neat, like someone who takes pride in their look.
