H. Numan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in a field. The person is in a slight lean forward, holding a tray with their right hand that contains brushes and a long stick with their left hand. They have facial hair and an open mouth. The person is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long, tattered coat with a cross patch on the left arm. The coat and sleeves have tears, and the lower part of the coat is frayed. The person's legs are covered with ragged material, and they are wearing pointed shoes. In the background, there is a house and a cluster of bushes or trees.
