Artist, American, born 1952

The image shows a diptych of a man's upper body, from the chest upwards. In the left frame, the man is positioned with his head tilted downward, looking towards the ground. In the right frame, he faces the camera directly with a neutral expression. The man has short, dark hair with gray streaks, and his face is lined with visible under-eye bags. He wears a light-colored, unbuttoned shirt. No jewelry is visible. The background is plain, with a vertical pattern likely created by shadows or light on a fabric surface. The shadow of his head is prominent on the wall behind him in both frames.
