The painting is executed in his distinctive eccentric style, blending Swedish Country, French Provincial, Folk Art, Bohemian, and Maximalist influences. The painting is executed in oil on canvas with a wood frame fitted with a wire and hooks for hanging. The painting is signed "Ira Yeager" in the lower left corner.
