Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911) was known for his detailed and historically accurate illustrations, and this costume sketch is a prime example of his work. The sketch depicts a man in a white robe with a red cloak, and a red turban with a large flower motif. This sketch may have been for a performance of Shakespeare's play "King Richard II," as suggested by the title. It's a quick, yet detailed portrayal of a character's costume design, reflecting the style and grandeur of the era. This sketch showcases Abbey's ability to capture the essence of a character through costume design.
