Kroat mit Leinwand (Linen Merchant)

J. Feigel, after Johann Christian Brand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright. His head faces the viewer with a serious expression. He has shoulder-length wavy hair, a broad nose, and deep-set eyes. He is dressed in layered historical attire with a coat, tunic, belt, and boots. In his hands, he holds a hat and a bundle of cloth. The background includes wooden boards, stones on the ground, and lacks atmospheric detail. The man is the main focus of the composition.
