Artist, American, born 1951

The image shows a young man seated and facing towards the camera. He holds a guitar horizontally across his lap and chest with both hands on the instrument. He has short, closely-cropped hair and a neutral expression. The man is dressed in a sleeveless white shirt and dark sweatpants that are slightly rolled up at the bottom, paired with athletic shoes and long white socks. On his left wrist, he wears a band. The background is a simple, dark-colored cloth or backdrop that covers the left side and part of the floor where he is seated, and a section of a wooden surface is visible on the right side. The overall tone of the image is warm, and it includes some scratches and marks, giving it a vintage appearance.
