I am no art historian but 18,000 plus for an amateur painting seems like an absurd price.

Scott, on the contrary -- just wanted to offer some confirmation to the facts in your post since different guesses had been presented
and not retracted, and because so many guys here seem to only skim a thread or skip from the original post to the most recent,
and because a lot of guys don't click on links that lead to more accurate, more detailed information.
No disrespect intended -- quite the opposite. Guess we should have included "as Scott indicated" in our post.

The man on the right in the painting is quite amusing to me. It shows that the painter did not fully understand perspective. His head is tiny and it looks like he is wearing diapers or has a long waisted female butt. Perhaps this is where the droopy drawers that the Black teenagers wear came from.

There are 4-5 segments within this post that were independently funny/weird/not PC let alone back to back to back to back to back. Oh man...

I was thinking it at first sight as well.... but refrained from posting.

The butt looks just like our mothers' butts back in the '80s, with those horrific high-waisted jeans. We called it "long butt syndrome" back then.

Pam Dawber (an otherwise very attractive woman) wore them a lot on Mork & Mindy. That was the height of the era

What can I say. I looked at that painting and the two things that stood out were the tiny head and those horrible pants. I take the Metro (subway) to and from work in Washington, D.C.every day. I have seen so many teenagers wearing those silly pants that I want to ask them if their mothers ever change their diapers. Worst post ever? A bit melodramatic, but I'll take it.

Yeah, other than that the painter really nailed the perspective.

I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to the subject of the last sentence, but here in Washington state I've seen plenty of mid-twenties white guys sporting the 'droopy drawers' look. Up here they generally come with rat-tails and untied high-tops. In Wal-mart such attire is even common on larger middle-aged women. And to think it all began on the Union Ball grounds back in 1870.

I wonder if women wear dresses because it's easier to wear diapers under them and hide their long waisted butts.
