DescriptionA man in a shirt, a tie, and striped trousers, seen from the thighs up, stands in front of a car seen from the side and slightly above. He gazes toward the left into the distance. He has a mustache. He holds his hands in front as if not sure what to do with them. The car is rectangular-built with striped cloth seats visible through the windshield. A streaked landscape and sky can be seen on the other side of the car.Provenance
