DescriptionAgainst a bright yellow background, two heads. A Japanese man on the left, facing right. He has pale yellow skin, a red cap, and black hair. He sticks out his red tongue at a Caucasian woman with blonde hair on the right, facing left. She has a shocked expression on her face, her blue eyes opened wide and her red lips parted, revealing white teeth.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
