"A Monk from the Order of Barbones" is a watercolor drawing by Francisco Fierro, a renowned Peruvian artist, created in 1848. This drawing, part of a series depicting Peruvian dress, captures the detail and grandeur of the monk's attire, including his wide-brimmed hat with a tassel and his distinctive cape adorned with a badge. The drawing provides a glimpse into the sartorial traditions of religious orders in Peru during the 19th century. The work, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, showcases Fierro's skill in capturing the unique visual elements of Peruvian culture through his meticulous portrayal of clothing and accessories.
