This expressive portrait of a clown radiates vintage nostalgia. The painting captures the essence of joyful, theatrical spirit through the expressive handling of the white painted face of a kind, older gentleman. He wears a costume including a, red nose, wide generous smile, blue eye makeup, white shirt collar, and black hobo hat. Morgan uses energetic, gestural brushstrokes and a bright palette of primary colors to depict a children's circus entertainer from a bygone era. The background features gestural blue and gold fields of color.
 
The canvas is ready to hang is a stately, vintage frame with black finish and red detail.
 
The painting is in perfect condition. The vintage frame has some minor scuffs and torn backing paper. See Photos.
