Painted on Masonite, the subject features a wide, unsettling grin, sunken eyes, and a muted palette of earth tones, deep reds, and ochre, evoking a complex mix of melancholy and intrigue. The bold brushwork and heavy impasto lend dramatic texture to the piece.
Housed in a simple linen-wrapped wood frame, the artwork makes a striking statement and offers a compelling glimpse into mid-century outsider or folk art traditions. The painting is signed in the lower right corner, though the signature is stylized and partially illegible.
