Did you know?
Formally posed in a studio in profile, rather like a specimen, the image is more likely an anthropological study than a commissioned portrait.
Description
The gentleman sports a Western jacket and shirt, but his distinctive hairstyle identifies him as Sinhalese, a people originally from northern India who now form the majority of the population of Sri Lanka.
