DescriptionThe image is a contemporary portrait of a male figure seated in a chair; the figure appears to be very tall with long slender legs clad in blue pants. He wears white shoes on his feet. In his right hand he holds a rag and wears a brown painter's smock over a white shirt, the sleeves rolled up. Around his feet and under the chair, there are five multi-color flowers that appear to be growing out of the floorboard cracks. He has dark curly hair and a full beard. In the lower right foreground a green cabinet with a white countertop juts out on a diagonal; on top of the counter is a container holding paintbrushes and tubes of yellow, green, and dark red paint.On View
