About this work

This print shows a man’s face in profile. He wears a blue and white striped robe with a black sash. His hair is pulled back, and he holds a fan in one hand. The background is mostly dark with some floral patterns. The man looks serious, almost angry. His face is bold and simple, with strong lines. The colors are bright but flat, like a poster.
