About this work
A man in round wire-framed glasses stands half-turned, wearing a tall red cap with dangling blue cords, a dark blue coat with red-striped sleeve chevrons and gold-fringed epaulettes, and a diagonal black sash crossing a yellow floral-patterned pouch at his waist. He holds a long curved pipe to his lips with one hand while the other rests behind his hip.
Set against a plain, hatch-textured pale ground, the uniform's reds, blues and gold are rendered with careful, naturalistic detail typical of a costume study. Warm skin tones and crisp white highlights on the buttons and glasses lend the figure a calm, composed presence.
