A raw, expressionistic portrait rendered in a chaotic mix of colors and textures. The central figure features large, uneven circular eyes - one black, one with a spiral pattern - and a grimacing mouth filled with sharp teeth. The skin appears pale and mottled against a background that blends coral reds, pale blues, and flashes of yellow. Rough brushstrokes and dripping paint create a sense of decay and distortion, fitting for the "mud men" title. The painting style is deliberately crude and unsettling, with visible paint runs and scratchy mark-making that add to its primal, earthy quality. The composition is tightly focused on the figure's face, which fills most of the canvas space.
