Expressive mid-century oil painting on canvas depicting a seated clown or harlequin figure with a dog, rendered in thick impasto brushwork and a vivid yellow ground. The composition features a pale, melancholic face with red accents, striped costume, suspenders, and gestural, heavily textured paint throughout, giving the work strong emotional presence and movement. The lower right appears signed in red and dated 1967, possibly reading “David P…” or similar, though the signature is not fully legible. Presented in a period frame with linen matting; the reverse shows an older stretched canvas with age toning, surface wear, and handwritten markings. A striking decorative modernist portrait suitable for collectors of outsider, expressionist, circus, or mid-century figurative art. Condition is consistent with age, including craquelure/texture, scattered surface grime, wear to the frame, and visible age-related marks to the verso. Approx. frame size (in): 41.25 x 29.25 x 1.25, Approx. painting size (in): 35.5 x 23.5.
