About this work

This painting shows a man with a serious face, wearing a tall, decorated hat with a feather on top. His dark robe has bright green and red trim along the sleeves and chest. He holds a long spear with a golden tip in his right hand, and the background is a simple green sky with a faint glow behind his head. The feather on his hat is white with black tips, and the colors on his clothes stand out sharply against the plain background. The painting looks like it was made to show power and tradition. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
