Artist, American, born 1952

The image shows the upper half of a man with a cigarette in his mouth, surrounded by smoke. His facial features are shadowed due to the lighting. He has short hair and wears a light-colored shirt over a white undershirt, with the collar slightly open. Behind him, a second man stands in the background with a bare chest, leaning against a table with his hand resting on it. The setting is illuminated by warm, orange-red and intense green tinted light coming from a large window with frosted glass panels. Other people are seated at tables in the background, with one person holding a bottle.
