Perseo (L’arguzia ha trionfato sul dolore)

Paul Klee, 1904

The image is a artistic rendering of a bust of a person with exaggerated features. The person is depicted from the shoulders up, with the head turned slightly to one side. The face has prominent, large eyes, a bulbous nose, and a slightly curled mouth. The person has a close-cropped hairstyle, a thick beard covering the entire chin and lower face, and is wearing a simple garment at the collar. No notable jewelry or objects are present. Next to the person's head is a secondary depiction of another human head with equally exaggerated features, seen in profile view, with a drooping mouth and elongated chin or tail. The background is a textured, monochromatic surface.
