Robert Frank

Artist, American, born Switzerland, 1924 - 2019

The image shows a man from the shoulders up, with his head resting on his hand, looking towards the camera. He is positioned at an angle, leaning forward slightly as he rests his chin on his hand and his elbow on a surface. His facial features include a slightly open mouth and wide eyes, and he has curly, dark hair. The man is wearing a pinstripe shirt, and a dark vest can be seen beneath it. The background is out of focus but appears to be an office setting with papers or a desk surface, and possibly some shelves or books behind him.
