Artist, American, born 1934

The image shows a framed photograph of a man's face. The man has distinct facial features, including eyebrows, eyes, and lips, but the lower part of his face is shadowed. His hair is neatly combed and light in color. The framed photo is placed against a reflective surface, which shows an urban environment in the background with silhouettes of buildings and cranes. It appears that the photo is taped at the top and placed against a glass, creating reflections of the surroundings.
