Artist, American, born Latvia, 1888 - 1968

The image shows a man leaning against a corner wall. He is depicted in profile, looking to the right, with his shoulders slightly hunched and hands in his pockets. His facial features are partially obscured by shadow. He has a strong jawline and is wearing a flat cap that covers most of his hair. The man is dressed in a suit with a long coat and loose-fitting pants, and he is wearing polished shoes. He stands under an overhanging roof, and the pavement is shiny. In the background, a street scene is visible with another person walking away, wearing a long coat, with lights illuminating the path. There is a sign on the wall behind the man featuring the partial text "NDIA" with other indistinguishable letters. The scene is rendered in an etched style with detailed cross-hatching.
