Black long eyebrows converge on the bridge of the nose. The nose is large. The image of the mouth can only be guessed. The cheekbones and partially the cheeks are covered with a thick white (gray) beard. The lower part of the face (chin) is covered by the image of one of three round gray objects with bright red bays over most of their field. The image of the upper part of the head is cut off by the edge of the sheet. The upper left part of the composition is the outline of several gray and black figures with raised arms. Throughout the compositional field there are bright pastel spots made in red, white, gray, black, and brown colors.

Description of the incident location
It was opened on May 27, 1978, in the former City Hall building, an architectural monument of the early 20th century. As of 2022 (before the robbery), the museum's collection included more than 13 thousand works of art and was one of the most interesting museum collections in Ukraine. It includes works of Ukrainian and foreign painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts. From October 31 to November 4, 2022, the Kherson Art Museum was looted by the russian occupiers, and more than 10,000 of its most valuable exhibits were stolen. The cargo was sent to Crimea, and the works (all or part of them) ended up in the Simferopol Central Museum of Tavrida. It is unknown whether everything is still there.
