Work Description: 
In this black and white portrait, a young Clyfford Still poses before a flat landscape in Bow Island, Alberta, Canada. Still wears a scout's uniform with a broad-rimmed hat and a long coat belted at the waist. The coat's left front pocket features two light-colored vertical stripes. He holds a flagpole in his right hand, while the other rests casually against his thigh. The small white flag features the head of a bird. Patches of snow litter the stark landscape. A tower fades into the distance in the right background.
