Artist, American, born Ukraine (Austria), 1899 - 1968

The image shows a man seated behind a chain-link barrier. He is leaning sideways, with one arm resting on a surface and the other bent at the elbow. The man appears youthful, with short, neatly combed hair and a direct gaze. He is dressed in a dark jacket over a light-colored shirt, and his hands are visible, resting casually on his lap and a nearby tire. The setting appears to be an enclosed space, possibly a room with plain walls and minimal furnishings. There is a hat hanging on the wall above and some tools visible in the upper part of the image. The background is plain and slightly dim.
