ProvenanceThe Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual ArtsDescriptionBlack and white image of an older man, David Hockney, from the chest up wearing a suit, tie, and glasses. He smiles as he looks to the side of the man in front of him, Lester Persky. Persky faces away from the camera so only the back of his head with his comb-over is visible. The background is entirely shadowed except for a woman somewhat visible between the two men, talking with another group.
