Jackson Heller, Hair Stylist, New York

Description

A monochrome portrait features a woman seated in a leopard print armchair, wearing a matching coat. She is posed in a three-quarter view, with her hand raised to her face and her gaze directed to the side. The woman has an elaborate hairstyle. She wears earrings and dark hosiery with ankle bracelets. The chair is upholstered in a leopard print fabric, blending seamlessly with the woman's coat. In the background, a taxidermied peacock stands to the left of the woman, its feathers adding a natural element to the scene. An ornate vase is visible behind the chair. The room is dimly lit, with the light source coming from the front, highlighting the woman's face and coat. The composition is symmetrical. The monochrome palette lends a timeless quality to the image.
