Artist, British, 1891 - 1963

The image depicts a group of fourteen caricatured individuals standing on clouds against a blue sky background. The characters are divided into two groups, with one group gesturing towards the other. The figures are dressed in formal attire, with a mix of hairstyles and facial hair. Some distinct characters include an old man in a striped bathing suit, another with a top hat, and a bulky man with a cigar. One person holds a piece of paper and another wears a green cape. The exaggerated facial expressions and features create a sense of animated action.
