Little Clown with a Drum

A clown sits astride a large drum, both feet braced on the rim, a mallet held loosely in one hand. The white greasepaint, raised brows and downturned mouth set the mood, and a red top hat with a blue band tips forward over his eyes. Yellow jacket, blue collar and a red spotted bow tie answer the red discs scattered across the white trousers. Rope lacing crosses the drum shell, and the whole figure rests on a turned wooden plinth.
