Description
Rectangular watercolour painting of two shirtless men arm wrestling. There are four human outlines and a dog behind them, watching. Shades of light blue are in the background around the group. The background figures are dark grey and light brown with blue undertones. The arm wrestling men are light grey and both have their short hair, mouths, eyes and lips coloured black. One man has a majority of his face visible from the front and the other has his right-side profile visible. The man facing forward is sitting on the ground and the man facing away is sitting on the other man's legs. Both are wearing dark-grey pants and brown boots. Below the watercolour, towards the left side, "Arm Wrestle" is written in cursive in pencil. In the bottom right corner the artist signature and year, "2009," are written in pencil.
