Vera Van Voris

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the head of a detailed and realistic clown. The entire head is visible facing forward, with a slightly elongated neck. The clown has exaggerated facial features including large eyes with prominent black eyebrows, a red bulbous nose, and a wide mouth with red lips. The clown's orange hair appears tousled or unruly, sticking out in various directions. The face shows red and white makeup. A metallic ring hangs from the bottom of the neck. The background is plain and beige, with the name "V. Van Voris" written in the bottom right corner.
