Description

Three Black men are seated around a rustic wooden table in a dimly lit setting with a dark backdrop. The man on the left wears a black leather jacket adorned with strawberry motifs, holding playing cards. The man in the center leans forward, holding a hand of cards while wearing a plaid shirt. The man on the right, wearing a colorful patterned jacket and layered silver necklaces, holds up a stack of cash and examines it. Stacks of paper money, glassware containing amber liquids, and playing cards are scattered across the table surface. The portrait was photographed in Los Angeles by G L Askew Ii.
