The artwork is characterized by its unique blend of traditional portraiture and contemporary art elements. It depicts what appears to be a classical portrait of a man dressed in historical attire, disrupted by the striking addition of a pie thrown onto the subject’s face. This juxtaposition of high art with an act of comedic mischief exemplifies Banksy’s signature style of blending satirical commentary with visual art.
