Sketch Model for Portraits of Minamoto Tametomo is a 1742 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a warrior crouched, holding a bow with arrows. He wears heavy armor with red and gold accents, a helmet with a plume, and carries a sword at his side. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his detailed outfit and ready stance. The armor looks stiff and ornate, with patterns that suggest high status. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, which makes the figure stand out sharply. If you like this style, check out the Baroque movement next.
This is a model for paintings. Notations on the figure's left shoulder instruct on color and pattern.
