Description

Small square painting depicting three figures on a red background. There are two human-like figures on either side of a long thin figure. All three figures have faces with eyes, nose, mouth and eye brows. The eyes are shown as red circles with white eyes and a black pupil. The central, thin figure has a yellow face, the figure on the proper right has a white face, and the figure on the proper left has a black face. All three figures are wearing necklaces; the two human-like figure’s necklaces are white with red stripes while the long yellow figure’s necklace is black. The human-like figure on the proper right side has a black body while the other two figures have a green body. The border of the painting is black and yellow, and within the black border there are white dots. The painting appears to have been done on a piece of paper with black typed characters on it, almost resembling newsprint, as some of the characters show through on the front and back surfaces of the painting.
