Visual Description

A painting in a cartoon style. The background is salmon red, with a narrow vertical light blue line along the right edge. At the center stands a brown coat rack, topped with a gray derby hat and draped with a beige trench coat. The arrangement resembles a person in profile, as if wearing the hat and coat. Where the face would be, an open peg of the coat rack holds a trace of light gray ash at its tip. From this point, a large white cloud billows upward, expanding above the hat and filling the top half of the painting.
