About this work

This painting shows a shirtless man in a red cap and striped skirt, holding an axe. A white goat walks beside him, and a small monkey sits nearby. The colors are flat and bright, with no shadows or depth. The man’s outfit and the animals suggest this might be a character from folklore or a story. The style looks simple but deliberate, with bold outlines and limited shading. If you like this kind of bold, stylized art, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more pieces like it.
