Which artist painted this work?© Oberlin College, Ohio. The features and bodies of both people are angular and heavily outlined. Their skin has a noticeably yellowish cast, and their features are stylized. The man takes up the left half of the painting. Shown from the chest up, he wears a navy-blue uniform with a gold-colored button near the high neck. Under black brows, his slitted eyes are filled in with midnight blue. A cigarette hangs from between bright red lips. He holds up both hands, the stump of his right arm a red disk. The fingers of the other blend together and then come to a point, or extend off the right edge of the canvas. We see the nude woman from her knees up behind him, to our right. She looks to our left so we see her in profile. The background is red to our left, black behind the woman, and green to our right.
