Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows a man from the chest up. He is positioned slightly turned to the right as he looks sideways. His facial features are prominent, with a thin face and high cheekbones, a mustache, and short, dark hair with hints of gray. He is wearing a blue striped shirt partially visible under a dark jacket, with another garment draped over his shoulders. There is a rolled-up piece of paper tucked into his jacket pocket. The background includes a circular object that resembles a clock or industrial decoration, with a red and metallic color scheme visible. The lighting suggests an indoor setting that is possibly a storefront or industrial area.
