Sketch Model for Portraits of Ashikaga Takauji is a 1742 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a warrior sitting on a horse. He wears heavy armor with bright red and gold details, and holds a long bow in one hand. His face is serious, and the background is plain. The armor looks stiff and detailed, like it’s made for battle. The colors stand out against the faded brown background. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped other artworks.
Kegutsu , or fur shoes, like the ones worn by Takauji were often made of bear fur.
