Portrait with hieroglyphic Figures

More about Portrait with hieroglyphic Figures

A cubist-style painting depicts a man in a dark suit with a white shirt and black tie, set against a mustard yellow background. He has short, straight, gray hair, and wears black-rimmed glasses. His skin is rendered with yellow and tan tones, and his features, including his eyes, nose, and mouth, are angular and geometric. The man's shoulders are broad, and he is facing forward, looking directly at the viewer. To the left of the man, two dark-skinned, geometric figures in abstract clothing are depicted. The figure further back appears to be holding a cigarette. To the right of the man, there is a geometric building or structure with a black roof and a red triangular element. The background is a flat, mustard yellow with some white and beige geometric shapes, suggesting abstract architectural elements. The overall style is reminiscent of early 20th-century avant-garde art, particularly cubism and constructivism, with sharp lines, defined shapes, and a muted color palette accented by the vibrant yellow. The painting is signed in the top right corner with "C. Cooper '55" and in the bottom right corner with "Cooper".
