Artist, American, 1909 - 2011

The image shows a man from the knees up standing in a slight three-quarter profile, facing the camera. He has a neutral expression with short hair visible under his protective head covering. He is dressed in a metallic protective coat and gloves and appears to be holding the handle of a large bucket or container with his left hand. The background is dimly lit and industrial, with indistinct shapes and windows allowing some light to filter in, providing contrast to the otherwise shadowy setting.
