This large-scale work titled "Le Roi" (The King) depicts a harlequin-like figure in checkered attire, rendered with heavy impasto and textural elements that create a nearly sculptural surface. The composition uses a bold, four-quadrant color block background in ochre and black, juxtaposing the detailed figure against abstract, splatter-heavy sections. The work is signed "F. Benoualid" on the lower right and titled, signed, and dated "2005" on the reverse of the canvas.
