When I had hair, I thought that getting it mown would be cheaper than going to the barber’s shop.

I wanted to give the picture an unfinished look. In Milan and other Italian cities, there are some buildings that were never properly completed because the money ran out. Such as churches with rough brick façades that should have been faced with marble cladding slabs that were never added. Some of Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings have the same unfinished look, but in his case, he probably just lost interest and moved onto something else, like flying machines.
