About this work
Figure study of a crouching Indonesian man. He wears a light-coloured head covering, a pale blue shirt, a yellow garment around the hips and sandals. The man is shown in a compact, forward-leaning pose, with both arms lowered and his hands close to the ground. The visible linen and loose pastel strokes give the work a sketch-like character.
