Associated Names
Dorothea Lange

Artist, American, 1895 - 1965

The image displays the upper half of an older man. He is slightly hunched with his head turned towards the camera. Deep lines mark his face, and stubble covers his chin and cheeks. His thick eyebrows and tired eyes are partially shadowed by his hat. He wears a dark, worn-looking jacket over a light-colored shirt at the collar. A dark, slouching cap covers his head, which is slightly tilted. The background is plain and light-colored, with no visible objects or scenery.
