Josephine at the Piano : Maquette.
In what may be the first of a series, Colin's original artwork of Josephine Baker, in her banana skirt, shows her in three points of her performance: out front, then (on the left) grooving in front of the piano, and then (on the right) flouncing down at the keys and playing a few riffs, while some gentlemen – bouncers? musicians? onlookers? – gawp with their tongues hanging out.
