Artist, American, 1896 - 1959

The image depicts a man's head and shoulders as he faces the camera directly. The man has dark hair, a mustache, and is wearing a suit with a collared shirt and tie. Lighting creates a shadow of his head on the wall behind him. To the left is a blurred figure that seems to be a sculpture or mannequin. The setting appears to be indoors, with a plain wall in the background.
