Famous for his expressive, textured portraits sold throughout the Bay Area in the 1960s and 70s, Peers beautifully captures the classic Emmett Kelly-style hobo clown.

This striking piece features rich textures, vivid coloration, and a masterfully painted, soulful expression. The painting comes housed in its original, substantial period-correct wood frame with a classic textured linen liner, which has been gently cleaned and looks magnificent. Note: True vintage condition. Canvas is tight, vibrant, and securely mounted; a tiny, minor surface frame rub mark is present near the collar as shown in the macro photos, adding to its authentic vintage character.
