Abstract figure with striped tights like a jester, also donning jester-like shoes that have the same striped pattern. The figure’s upper body is rendered with three limbs extending from the top, two of which contain the striped jester hat. The figure is also male, which is indicated by his penis.
This is a landscape painting of mountains in iceland. It’s formed with primarily pastel colors but contains moments of red, particularly towards the bottom of the composition. Mountainous landscape is suggested through a thin line and only the mountain to the right has any apparent ridges. The abstract white forms in the sky suggest clouds that feed into a diagonal line, suggesting fog. The paint on the surface of the work has been built up and, in certain places, stripped away by the artist.
