![The artwork titled "To Keep Watching the Town [working proof 6]" depicts a portrait of a person shown from the shoulders up. The individual is positioned facing forward. The facial features are rendered in a rough, textured style with a focus on shadows and contrasts. The person has short hair and is wearing a collared shirt, which is also depicted with textured, shadowy lines. The background is a speckled, textured surface that complements the overall monochromatic and sketch-like quality of the piece.](https://api.nga.gov/iiif/5e395d22-e2b5-4246-b7b6-b23e89be4dac/full/!800,800/0/default.jpg)
