About this work

The painting depicts a man standing in a room, surrounded by water that reaches up to his waist. He is dressed in a dark suit and tie, with his hands clasped together in front of him. The room's walls are white, and the ceiling is made of wood. The artist has used a range of mediums, including charcoal, pastel, and colored pencil, to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The use of blue pastel to depict the water adds a sense of coolness and calmness to the scene. This painting is part of the collection at The Museum of Modern Art.
