Servant

A servant wearing long trousers and an oversize tunic, both white, the latter wide open at the side to facilitate movement. A band in twisted fabric cinches the waist. On his head a strange hat with a red brim, decorated with a hat pin. The man, who is standing, is - untypically - barefoot, his feet on a brown and blue striped rug. In his left hand, he carries a tray with a free-standing glass holding some kind of liquid, while in the right, an apparently empty tray, its bottom decorated with red motifs.
Watercolour, made by author and European technique, which depicts traditional Indian activities related with services.
