Work Description: 
This black and white studio portrait depicts a vignetted representation of Clyfford Still. The sharp details of the artist's facial features emerge against a bright backdrop, while those of his suit and tie seem to fade into the background. Leaning forward slightly, Still avoids looking at the camera. He wears glasses, and sports a mustache. Pencil marks drawn directly on the photograph emphasize the lines of Still's shoulders, hair, left ear, and suit coat collar.
