Artist, American, born 1951

The image depicts a man from the shoulders up, centered in the frame. His body is facing slightly to the left, and he is leaning slightly forward while looking directly at the camera. He has a serious expression with slightly furrowed brows. His facial features include a broad nose and full lips, and he sports a closely-cropped haircut. He is wearing a plain, short-sleeved T-shirt. The background is a dark, nondescript space which contrasts with the lighter tone of the man's T-shirt, bringing the focus entirely on him. There is no visible jewelry or objects in his possession, and the photograph has an aged, sepia-toned appearance with rounded corners.
