I guess it's art, but...

The former owners made a point of leaving this behind when they moved out - along with some other art that I may feature here as the weather turns colder. This hangs in the basement bathroom that we seldom use, so I typically don't give it much thought.

Having said that ... what the heck is going on in this picture? Is he yawning? Yodelling? Eating invisible grapes? Shading his eyes to stare into the ember-coloured sky? Falling backward? Is that a curved vuvuzela at his feet?



Also, where is his left hand? Why does he appear to have five fingers on his right hand (not counting the thumb)?

Maybe - though I'd expect him to have an onion hanging from his belt in that case.

Could be covered by his coat, I suppose.

... As was the fashion at the time.
