About this work

This painting shows a man in bright, flat colors standing outside a simple building. He wears a purple tunic with red sleeves, a red sash, and a tall, decorated hat. His left hand rests on a red cloth, and he has a necklace with a pendant. The building behind him has green-shuttered windows and a dark archway. The colors are bold and the lines are clean, almost like a sketch. This style mixes two art movements that focus on light and everyday life.
