Description

This black and white portrait captures a mature man with neatly styled white hair and a neatly trimmed white beard and mustache. He is wearing a heavy, textured knit pullover sweater with a prominent high collar and button closure details. The subject is angled slightly away from the camera while gazing directly forward with a serious expression. The lighting is bright and high-contrast against a clean white background, emphasizing the tactile knit patterns of the garment and the sharp features of the subject. The portrait was photographed in New York by Michael Avedon.
