This painting shows a man sitting on a fancy chair with a small canopy above him. He’s dressed in bright colors—green headwear, a white shirt, and a red-and-gold robe—holding a black feather quill. The background is simple: a blue sky with white clouds and some flowers painted on the edges. The man’s face is painted with bold colors, especially the green and red, which stand out. The writing at the top is in a script we don’t recognize. If you want to see more like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
