This painting shows two identical men standing side by side. They’re bald, wearing glasses, and have big bellies. Each man is holding a smaller, chubby child with curly hair, dressed in red and blue. The background is split into a blue top half and a red bottom half. The faces and bodies are drawn in simple lines, but the details like the glasses and the children’s curls are carefully added. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading. Try looking up gouache to see how this paint works differently from others.
