Dos estudios de un indio de Calcuta de pie

Eugène Delacroix, hacia 1823/1824

This painting shows a man depicted from two angles; on the left, he faces us, while on the right, his back is to us. In both views he wears the same clothes and is in the same position. The man has dark brown skin and a black mustache, with short black hair covered by a tilted red hat. He wears a long, brown, long-sleeved garment with a red section at his chest, a white sash around his waist, and a tan sash draped over his shoulders and across his chest. Under the garment he has striped gray pants and red sandals on his feet, the toes curved upwards. The man stands with one hand on his hip and the other hand placed on an indistinct object, possibly a chair. The background is painted in blurred shades of brown and gray.
