27 x 27.5. This mid-20th-century oil on canvas painting depicts a male figure, appearing to be a magician or card player, seated at a dark green table. The subject is dressed in a formal black tuxedo featuring bright blue lapels and a red carnation on his lapel. On the table before him is an assortment of objects, including a fan of playing cards, a gold-toned pocket watch with a chain, an open wallet, a long cigarette holder, and a rolled-up newspaper. The background is a textured green wall adorned with a three-arm crystal candelabra holding three candles and two small framed paintings. One small painting depicts a female artist with a palette and the other shows an animal in a landscape. The floor is rendered in a dark and light checkerboard pattern. The painting is executed in a stylized figurative manner with visible vertical canvas texture. It is housed in a deep shadow-box frame with a wide, red-lacquered inner mount and an outer gilded wood border. No signature is visible on the face of the work or on the verso, which shows an aged canvas on wooden stretchers.
