Abstract
Two male figures.
Description
Watercolour. The two figures may represent one person seen from two angles. The images are side-by-side in the centre and right centre of the picture, seen respectively face-on and in profile, detailing the upper body and head. The left-hand figure is possibly resting his arms on a surface, or (as in the case of the right-hand figure) on his legs folded beneath him as he sits on the ground. The clothing consists of a grass skirt coloured purplish-grey. The skin is brown, the hair long, straight and black. His pale thin headband has a dark decoration, which is dotted across the forehead, and then continuous over and behind the ears. Shadows behind the figures may indicate an indoor setting.
