The image depicts a man standing on the steps of a doorway. He is leaning against the door frame with one arm and has his other hand on his hip. The man is middle-aged, with short dark hair and is wearing a dark jacket over a light shirt and dark trousers. His shoes are light-colored and scuffed. In the background, there is an open door leading to a dark interior, with a piece of wood upright against the doorframe. The environment appears to be an urban street with rough textures on the walls and steps. — Sol Libsohn, 29th Street, West of 5th Avenue, c. 1940, gelatin silver print, Patrons' Permanent Fund, 2001.67.136
