Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows an older man's upper body, with a focus on his face. He is standing straight, facing the camera. The man has short, combed-back gray hair and distinct facial features with noticeable eyebrows. He is wearing a dark collared shirt under a light-colored jacket. Around his neck, there is a necklace with two pendants: one with a cross and another with a skull motif. In the background, there is a blurred tent with the partial word "COLD" printed on it. Another person is standing off-center in the background, not in focus.
