This is a painting of a blackface caricature toy figure. The painting features a doll-like figure standing on a circular base, characterized by a black face with exaggerated white eyes and a wide, toothy grin highlighted in red. The figure is dressed in a bright yellow outfit with green accents, including a coat with large round buttons. The hands are also black, matching the face. Next to the full figure is a side profile view of its head. The background is a plain, cream-colored surface.
