Artist, American, born Switzerland, 1924 - 2019

The image depicts a young man in a dark suit leaning against a wall. He has one hand on his hip and the other touching the back of his neck. He has a smooth complexion, neatly combed dark hair, and is wearing a collared shirt and tie. A large lamp fixture is mounted on the wall above him. In the background, there is a street scene with a visible "Antoine’s Restaurant" sign that reads "Since 1840." The street is lined with building facades, parked cars, and lampposts along the sidewalk.
