Portrait of Two Men
Image
Full-length studio "gag" portrait of two men in front of a painted backdrop. The man on the right, James Gorman, is wearing work clothes, boots and hat and is smoking a corn cob pipe. He is holding a beer bottle (capped) as if to pour it into the cup of the other man. The man on the left (unidentified), appears to be wearing a long, very large, dress or apron. He has a bushy moustache and seems to have dirt on his face. A table stands in front with another beer bottle and cup.
1930
