Lisette Model

Artist, American, born Austria-Hungary, 1901 - 1983

The image depicts a man sitting in a wicker chair, reclining back with his eyes closed and his head tilted to the side. He is wearing a suit, vest, white shirt, tie, patterned socks, and leather shoes. Beside him, a woman sits in a similar chair, holding a newspaper, wearing a white hat, dress, and beaded necklace. The background shows more individuals in chairs and a distant building structure. The setting appears to be outdoors on a tiled ground under sunlight.
