Man in a Red Hat Smoking a Pipe is a 1800 oil by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man in peasant clothing sits at a table, smoking a pipe and wearing a red hat. He's likely in a public house, with a jug by his side. The painting is small, but the details are clear. The artist used tiny brushstrokes to create this scene, and you can see similar skillful use of small details in the work of other artists who used the technique of glazing.
