About this work

This painting shows a man standing tall in a light green background. He wears a white shirt with gold buttons, a long purple skirt, and pink stockings. His red hat has a gold trim, and he holds a cane in one hand. The man’s outfit looks fancy, with small details like a star-shaped brooch on his chest. The colors are soft but bright, and the painting feels a bit faded over time. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
