Artist, American, born 1934

The image displays a man lying in bed on his back with one arm under his head. His eyes are closed, suggesting he is resting or sleeping. He has short hair and is wearing a plain white T-shirt. Next to him is a pillow, and on the nightstand, there is an alarm clock showing the time as 6:11, along with a coiled telephone cord. The background includes a headboard with geometric patterns and a wall with a framed picture. The scene is softly illuminated, casting shadows on the bed and the man's arm.
