Picture of a Man Drawn in Red extends or revisits the subject of Man Drawn in Red, the fuller title adding the word picture and emphasizing the representational act. The distinction between man drawn in red and picture of a man drawn in red is subtle but meaningful: the latter title acknowledges the print as a mediated representation rather than a direct rendering. Nakao Yoshitaka may have used the two titles for different states or versions of the same image, or for related compositions that share the red-figure approach while differing in pose, scale, or specific treatment of the figure's form and contour.
