Our brightly colored clown is depicted here in a brilliant yellow accented with teal blues and bright reds. The abstracted portrait features a pointed crown which rests on our clown's visage at a slightly tilted angle. The whimsical composition is detailed with two spirals at the center in red and yellow which serves as our clown king's nose. His teal, crescent-moon smile is accented with red and yellow stars in opposite colors, serving as his bright, rosy cheeks. It is a fun and light-hearted work reminiscent of Picasso's equally fun and light-hearted demeanor.
