Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This collage depicts an infant done in pale shades of pink, grey and white outlined in black. Seated behind a small red table, the baby rests its right arm on the table's surface. Wearing a white garment like a diaper, it is seated on a surface made up of blocky shapes in tones of black and grey. Its bare feet rest on a floor made of off-white with dark gridlines across it. The background consists of blocks of color in dark green and grey. The painting is signed vertically by the artist on the bottom left corner.
