Artist, American, born 1934

The image contains a round mirror reflecting a person taking the image, two framed portraits placed on either side of the mirror, and a framed picture of John F. Kennedy centered under the mirror. The color palette consists mainly of black, white, and gray, giving a monochrome effect. The wallpaper behind is floral-patterned and a lace doily is on the furniture surface, where a sword is horizontally placed. The furniture is against the wall, one of the portraits is leaning against the mirror, and the background shows a blurred reflection of another room.
