Accordion Player

Cowan Pottery Studio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The ceramic figure depicts a man playing an accordion. The man is bald and wears no shirt or shoes. He sits on a flat base with his right leg bent and tucked under his body, while his left leg is extended. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is stretched out to hold the accordion. The accordion is cream-colored with vertical ridges on its front. The background is a plain gray color. The overall style of the piece is reminiscent of Cowan Pottery Studio.
