DescriptionThe print functions as a black and white “drawing” of the cropped figural form of a human being. It depicts a bare torso and legs, partially covered by clothing, with a hand resting on a chair, represented only by a detail. There is a coffee mug on a table in the background. The chair detail and coffee mug are the only objects depicted with color.Copyright© The George and Helen Segal Foundation / Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
