Not only do I like the color, but I do NOT believe it's Irv as many have suggested. Like many of the other players in those sets, the quality and attention to detail of the artwork is a bit lacking. But if you consider the eyebrows, ears, etc....it's no more Irv than Cy. It's like so many other Cy Young cards that really don't look like Cy Young. Let's face it, only one of his T206 cards looks anything like him.

I couldn't disagree more. That card looks absolutely nothing like Cy Young, but does bear a resemblance to Irv, especially the chin:
