About the painting

A study of a man wearing a striped robe, seen from behind.This work is part of an album of fifty-three sketches by Carlevarijs which includes figures he appears to have painted in the open air in preparation for insertion into formal compositions. This figure reappears for example in the centre foreground of The Entry of the French Ambassador Henri-Charles Arnauld, the Abbot of Pomponne, into the Palazzo Ducale formerly part of the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst (NK2929) and now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. C1612).
