Description:
Painting in multiple colors of the head and shoulders of a smiling, front-facing male figure with black hair wearing a hat on a dark pink back ground. The face is accentuated with a heart-shape outline in bright blue crayon, the lips are outlined in green, and repeated horizontal grey lines hightlight the cheeks and eyebrows. Yellow fields of pigment surround the top and sides of the head and hat and pale blue-green pigment accentuate the neck and cheeks. The work is framed by pale lavender lines on the sides and horizon.
