Signed by the artist at the bottom center

This figure appears to have been caught in the act, but it is impossible to determine the seriousness of his offence. The artist has captured this man on paper in a moment of tension, legs and hands spread, knees bent, shoulders tensed. Everything suggests that this is a moment of suspense for him, as well as for the viewer.
