A block holding a toothbrush set with gold teeth raised in low relief on a lead sheet. The rectangular block holding the brush is almost halfway down the panel. The brush has a straight, toothbrush-like handle highlighted with shiny silver tin leaf. Four gold teeth are set in a row at what would be the brush end, to our left. Letters are stamped in the front face of the block to read, “THE CRITIC SMILES.” The artist signed and dated the work below the block with dotted lines, “J Johns ’69.” Also incised in the lower left corner of the lead sheet is “GEMINI III” with a Gemini horoscope symbol.
