About this work

This drawing shows a man in a dark military uniform with lots of buttons. His hands are on his hips, and he’s standing in front of a table with a hat and some objects. The background has a window and a vase with leaves. The uniform looks formal, like something a high-ranking officer would wear. The artist used simple lines and shading to make the figure stand out.
