The figure is slightly turned to the side. If the turn to the right is depicted, the fine details of the face are highlighted more clearly on the left side. The clown is spinning the pedals of the wheel. His left leg is bent at the knee and placed on the pedal.

Put your right foot on the pedal on the other side of the wheel, it's bent at the knees, but you can't see part of your foot, it's covered by the wheel. The hands can be spread apart, holding some object. Such a circus performer would especially appeal to boys. Parents can help draw a clown.
