Man Looking at Picture in Gallery

Man Looking at Picture in Gallery | Drawing | Wisconsin Historical Society
Drawing of Sid Boyum standing with his hands behind his back holding a cigar and bending over to look closely at an artwork hung on the wall in a gallery. It appears that he has spit tobacco at his own painting. The caption at the bottom reads: "The picture that looks as if it were done without an effort may have been a perfect battle field in its making."
