About this work

This painting shows a shirtless man in a blue turban and white skirt, standing beside three donkeys. The donkeys are loaded with woven baskets on their backs, and the man holds a long stick in his right hand. The background is plain, with no extra details. The donkeys are drawn with simple but clear lines, and their baskets look heavy. The man’s face is dark, and his body is painted in flat colors with little shading.
