Description
A black and white photographic portrait of a man reclining on a bed and smoking. The man is shirtless, wearing only jeans and a helmet buckled under his chin. The cigarette is held up to his lips with the first two fingers of his right hand. His left arm is held up and bent at the elbow to rest on his head. Behind the bed is a window with blinds closed and pulled nearly all the way down to mostly obscure the light coming in. A wall calendar is tacked up to the right of the window. Papers and small items are scattered on the bed around the man, with a square, glass ashtray beside him. The back of the print has the title, date and photographer's signature.
