ProvenanceAperture Gallery, Millerton, NYDescriptionBlack and white image of an older man, Richard Strauss, sitting in a chair and gripping the armrests. He sits in a shadowed interior and looks directly at the camera through his lashes so the hollows of his eyes are slightly shadowed. The interior is entirely out of focus but a circular area of light can be seen in the lower right.
