DescriptionThis painting depicts an Asian man wearing round glasses, with his hands above his head, tying a piece of white and blue fabric together just above his forehead. The artist crops the image such that the viewer only sees the man’s head, hands, and a partial view of his shoulders, which are covered in a red/pink checkered garment.ProvenanceWith Jan Weiner Fine Art Consultant, Kansas City, MO, by 2010;
