Description :

The head of this genius of youthful appearance is very damaged. The medium-length hair is freely waved. The face, chubby and childlike, is animated by a cheerful expression. The eyes are very expressive, frowning and wide open; they appear serious on this laughing face. Smiling, his half-open mouth barely lets his tongue out.
