This is a painting of a puppet or marionette head. The image shows a head with exaggerated features, including large blue eyes, a broad grin with visible teeth, and a large nose. The head wears a frilly lace bonnet and is mounted on a wooden base. The puppet appears to be made of paper mache or wood, giving it a textured, aged look. The colors used are muted, focusing on cream, brown, and gray shades, enhancing the antiquated appearance. A metal hook is positioned above the bonnet, suggesting manipulation as a puppet. The painting is signed "Lloyd C. Lemcke" with a date in the lower part.
