A man aged in his 40s, slender, with pale skin, standing upright. He is shot from waist height, facing to the left of the frame in three quarter profile. His hairy chest is bare. He has a shaggy beard and short brown hair. There are strokes of white paint across parts of his face, chest, hair and head.
Both hands clasp the paintbrush to his chest, tip pointing upwards towards his face, has been dipped in the same white paint that adorns him, suggesting he is still in the act of adorning himself. He has a cheeky half smile on his face, and there is mischief and his eyes seem focused on something a short distance away.
