- Description:
- Full length standing portrait of a young man with medium dark skin and dark hair standing outdoors against a plastered wall. The young man is wearing a striped, light colored tunic and light colored pants; he has his arms crossed at his chest and holds a wide brimmed hat in one hand an a cloth satchel in the other. Shadows that look like they are from a leafy tree cross the image from top left to lower right, covering the wall, the man, and the ground. The man is facing forward with a controlled expression, but his eyes look toward the right, and his hair swoops to the right as well, just above his ear. He is centered in the frame, and is barefoot on the stone ground.
- Notes:
- Matted gelatin silver print from one of two portfolios of Bravo's work held at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum.
