This painting shows a man in a bright, patterned outfit. His clothes are black, white, and gold with lots of small designs. He’s wearing a red headband and a turban with tiny dots. Around his neck, he has a chain with a pendant, and he holds a long, decorated stick. The background is a simple green circle with a red border. The man’s face is painted with strong light and shadow, making his features stand out. His pose is calm but confident, like he’s used to being looked at.
