It is attributed to American Artist Lester Raymer (1907-1991), as it is signed on the negative space to the left of the composition, and aligns with the eccentric, psychologically charged spirit associated with his work. It appears to be an image of an elderly person or perhaps even a self-portrait as the artist saw himself in that moment of the painting.

The painting media appears to be pencil, pen, watercolor, oil pastel. Wood frame with glass.
