Artist, American, born 1940

The image shows a person's bare back, from the waist up, seated on an upholstered chair. The person is positioned with their back to the camera, sitting upright but slightly leaning forward on the chair. The person's hair is dark, wet, and slicked back, reaching just past the nape of the neck. There are visible freckles on the person's back. The surrounding environment includes a vintage floral-patterned chair the individual is sitting on. To the left, there is an old-fashioned floor lamp casting light onto the wall, and a simple wooden chair is placed next to it. The background is plain, with a neutral-colored wall that is evenly lit by the lamp.
