Artist, American, 1930 - 2025

The image is a close-up portrait of a person with a bald head, prominent cheekbones, and a slightly downturned mouth. They are resting their chin on their hand, which is turned slightly towards the camera. The person's forehead and eyes have subtle lines and their eyes are looking directly at the viewer. They are wearing a dark ribbed turtleneck sweater that covers their neck and a metallic watch with a linked band on their wrist. The background is blurred with a neutral tone, suggesting an indoor setting.
