Description

This striking portrait by photographer Michael Avedon features a close-up composition of a woman with slicked-back hair and a neutral expression. She wears a textured grey wool coat with a distinct metal toggle clasp over a black turtleneck sweater. The lighting creates gentle contrast across her face, accentuating her features against a solid grey backdrop. The monochrome palette highlights the tactile quality of the heavy woolen fabric and the metallic closure detail.
