Standing Portrait of a Man with a Flower in Each Hand
View through Harvard Museums
Standing and facing left is a male figure. He wears a turban, a long robe (jama), armlets, a waist sash (patka), and shoes. Tucked into his waist sash is a punch dagger (katar). Small tufts of dark hair peak from beneath his turban. His neck has been shaded, which emphasizes the pallor of his face. The marks all over his face suggest small pox. He holds up, in each hand, a small flower.
