Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows a person leaning against a window frame, with a blurred view capturing only a partial portion of the head and shoulder. The person's dark, slightly tousled hair and facial features are not clearly defined due to motion blur. They appear to be dressed in dark clothing. The background displays the interior of a vehicle, possibly a subway train or bus, with metallic surfaces. In a smaller window reflection or adjacent window, a silhouette of another person wearing a wide-brimmed hat is visible. Graffiti is visible near the smaller window, and the scene appears to be taken in an urban commuting setting with muted tones and a sense of movement.
