Here is a description of the image:

This is a vintage stereoscopic card, likely from 1906 as indicated by the "Copyright 1906 by Herman Knutzen." The image is a humorous scene featuring a disheveled painter.

In both views, a man wearing a cap and splattered with various colors of paint sits on the floor. He is kneeling beside a collection of spilled paint cans, and his clothes and face are covered in the same vibrant hues. He is holding what appears to be a canvas or piece of fabric.

The scene suggests a comical mishap during the process of painting, with the painter himself becoming part of the artwork.

Underneath the image, a caption reads "700 (f). 'And also produce a life-size oil painted portrait of my boss; then I skidoo.'" This caption adds a narrative element, suggesting that the chaotic scene is a result of the painter's frustration with a demanding task, and he's ready to leave (skidoo) after finishing it.
