Work Description:
|
This painting shows two stylized figures against an ambiguous background. The larger, father-like figure on the left has an elongated head and face and wears blue overalls and a white shirt. His oversized proper left hand is wrapped around a smaller child-like figure who is distilled down to a skull with two eye sockets and a bony shoulder.
