Notes
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: The male figure presents an extremely feminine appearance. In addition to the photographic retouching making him appear to be wearing a great deal of make-up, he has long manicured nails, and is sporting a pinkie-ring, long considered to be an indicator of homosexuality in both men and women.
This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
