This is a costume design for a male figure. The figure is facing the viewer but looks to the right: his features are simple outlines but reminiscent of classical sculpture/portrayal. He is wearing blue stockings, a red tunic, a black jacket, and a decorative pouch slung round his waist and a red cloak over his shoulders. The figures arms are bent at the elbow with one hand over his chest and one on his stomach. There is no background detail.
