Stephen de Hospodar

Artist, American, 1902 - 1959

The image shows a person from the shoulders up, leaning over a horizontal surface, with their hands gripping the edge. Only the top part of their face is visible, as they appear to be looking downward. They have wavy or curly dark hair with lighter highlights. The individual is holding a pool cue in their right hand. The background is dimly lit with shadows, and a billiard ball is visible in the foreground.
