Description

Cover artwork for the fado "Phases da lua" by Antonio Menano. A man in clownlike carnaval garb is illustrated sitting on a crescent moon while holding a plucked instrument (probably a Portuguese guitar). A black and white spotted cat sits on the top of the title on the cover with its back turned to the viewer, watching the player. The name "Stuart" is written in an angular handwriting style beneath the clown and moon, possibly indicating the image's artist.
