Sid with Smoking Trout

Image

Waist-up portrait of Sid with an unlit cigar in his mouth, holding up a trout in both hands. The trout has a cigar stuck in its mouth. The area around the trout's mouth, as well as the tail area, has been airbrushed. A trail of smoke has been added to the cigar in the trout's mouth. Sid's nails are likely stained with pyrogallol, a staining agent used in the development of film.
