Printed with blended shading in tones of gray and black, a clean-shaven Black man sits with a newspaper resting in his lap and his head in one hand in this vertical lithograph. The man’s body is slightly angled to our right, and he looks down in that direction with deeply shadowed, hooded eyes. His nose has a wide, straight bridge. He has high cheekbones, and his lips are closed in a line. He wears a plaid button-down open over a white undershirt, which is tucked into high-waisted pants. One word on the folded newspaper is legible: “Attack.” His elbow rests on the edge of a table to our right, and a wall immediately behind the man fills the right two-thirds of the background. The room beyond opens onto a staircase or landing with a railing. The artist signed and dated the print in the lower margin under the right corner of the image: “Fogel 1936.”
