About this work

This painting shows a man in a bright, patterned outfit with a long necklace of pink flowers. His head is framed by a green circle, and he wears a tall, bejeweled headpiece. A small bird perches on his shoulder, and he holds a pink flower in one hand. The background is simple, letting the colors of his clothes stand out. The painting looks like it was made to highlight his fancy jewelry and detailed clothing. See more paintings like this at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
