A stocky, muscular man with his face painted white and wearing a skin-tight, oyster-white costume sits on a wooden chair, leaning forward toward us with his elbows resting on his knees in this vertical painting. The man nearly fills the canvas, and his feet are cropped by the bottom edge. His body is angled slightly to our left with his knees spread wide, but he looks out at us. He wears a pale, beige-colored cap and his cream-white bodysuit may have a loosely painted, wide collar. His nearly straight eyebrows and closed lips are painted black, and his narrow gray eyes are outlined in black, against the white oval of his painted face. His clasped hands, ears, and his skin visible along the edges of his makeup are pale peach. The background is earth brown. The artist signed and dated the work with red paint between one of the man’s legs and the leg of the chair, near the lower center: “Walt Kuhn 1929.”
