About this work

This is a head-and-shoulders photo of a man with a pale face and short, light hair. He’s wearing a white collar that stands out against his skin. The lighting is soft, mostly on one side, leaving the other side in shadow. His expression is calm, almost serious, with a slight tilt to his head. The photo looks old, with some damage along the edges and a faded, yellowish tone. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face. This photo is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
