(Study of a Man in Historical Dress and Feather Cap)
1899–1906

A sketch of a person dressed in historical clothing, featuring a wide-brimmed hat with a feather, a cape, and knee-length breeches. The figure is standing in profile with a shadowed background, giving the impression of a classic, possibly 17th-century European attire.
