Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows a man with his eyes closed, his head turned slightly to the side and tilted upwards. He has a weathered complexion, prominent eyebrows, a full gray and black beard, and long, curly black hair. He is wearing a dark jacket over an old brown shirt that appears worn out and dirty. The background is blurred with warm, glowing lights, possibly from urban sources like neon signs or streetlights.
