About this work
A seated figure with the face of an ape wears an officer's peaked cap and a pin-striped rose-colored suit jacket bearing a small triangular emblem on the sleeve, one leg crossed over the other in a dark boot. The figure rests in a plain wooden armchair, set against an almost black background where pale shell- and leaf-like shapes drift like faint apparitions.
The palette is built from dusky mauve, teal and rose against near-black shadow, with loose, visible brushstrokes modeling the simian face and rumpled fabric. The satirical pairing of a bestial face with military dress, lit softly against the dark, gives the picture a quietly unsettling, mysterious charge.
