Nan Goldin, New York

Description

A portrait by photographer Nan Goldin featuring a Black woman seated centrally on a deep red velvet sofa in a dimly lit interior. She wears a light green bralette and light blue jeans fastened with a brown leather belt. Her hands are clasped together in her lap as she looks downward. Surrounding her on the sofa are several contrasting cushions, including a bright turquoise pillow and patterned red and gold textiles, along with a structured brown leather handbag positioned on the left side. The lighting is intimate and low-key, casting soft highlights on the subject and the surrounding textures while the background fades into deep shadow.
