Artist, British, 1929 - 2014

The image depicts a person from the waist up, slightly angled with their body turned to the side and head facing the camera. They have short, tousled hair and their facial features include a slightly open mouth with visible teeth and a soft expression. The person is wearing a textured, patterned sweater beneath a large, slightly oversized jacket. Their hands are in motion, one partially visible on the left side of the image and another hand on the right holding an indistinct object. The background is blurred but suggests an outdoor setting, with a wall or building surface behind them.
