Object number2015.7.62
DescriptionUnstretched. Distorted image of a small boy in overalls on a fire escape. The image appears to have been colored over in blue streaks that blur the location of the boy and details of the background. One can infer from the title the boy is on a fire escape alone, looking over his left shoulder at the viewer. Blurred details (red) in the center and left foreground are visible through the blue/gray color-over. A clearer image can be found on 2015.7.63.
