title coymans
Shows the relaxed relationship between the artist and his subject. The artist in this example seems to have taken some liberties in showing the personality of the subject. The young man is shown casual, with a look of insolence, with his hat cocked at a challenging angle, and a look of contemptuous drollery in his eyes.
