About this work

This painting shows three exaggerated cartoon faces. One man has a bushy beard and a four-leaf clover on his shirt. A woman lounges on a stool, smoking and holding a drink. Another woman’s face is half-hidden by a giant purple wig. The background is filled with bold colors and playful text in German. The text looks like a mix of jokes and dialogue, giving the scene a lively, almost comic-book feel. The artist used thick, flat colors and bold outlines to make the characters stand out. If this style interests you, look up Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, Max.
