Arkadii Shaikhet

Artist, Russian, 1898 - 1959

The image depicts a young man in an upper body shot. He is standing with his body slightly tilted forward, holding onto a large wheel with both hands. His face is turned to the left, showing a profile view with prominent cheekbones and a determined expression. He has dark, neatly styled hair and wears a dark sleeveless tank top with horizontal ribbing and trousers. The background features an industrial machine with bolts, levers, and mechanical components. The setting appears industrial, with a plain, light-colored surface in the background.
