DescriptionTall vertical print. A man in blue and red Superman costume – blue body suit with red and yellow triangular S on the chest; red and black boots; red, yellow, and black pants; red cape billowing behind him – running toward the viewer, his proper right arm and hand across his body. The realistic face suggests a self-portrait: round glasses, a light mustache and short beard, and short black hair.Provenance
