About this work

This painting shows a man with a serious expression, holding a single pink flower. His face is framed by a bright green oval with a red border, and he wears a fancy outfit covered in tiny dots and patterns. A gold headpiece sits on his head, and his earlobes are stretched with large earrings. The bright colors and bold outlines make the image stand out. The flower he holds looks delicate compared to his heavy jewelry and clothing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
