This painting features a man sitting on the floor, playing a saxophone. He wears a hat and a collared shirt, and his legs are crossed. The background is a plain white space, with some text written in the top-left corner. The text reads, "LEARNING TO TALK AT LESTER'S KNEE. HE UTTERED A BREATHY, 'AH!' EXPRESSIVE OF COMPLETE GRATIFICATION." The overall style of the painting is loose and expressive, with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Raymond Pettibon.
