DescriptionThe artist stares intently into a mirror propped on a table set against the wall. His hair is thinning on top; he has a full beard and mustache. He wears a shirt with an open collar. His right proper hand holds a pencil. In the foreground, a table littered with objects: a roll of masking tape in the lower left corner with a pipe bowl and stem behind it; a pen facing back, a crumpled piece of paper, a crumpled cloth with a pair of pliers behind it; a pencil slanting to the back left with an eraser in front of it; behind it a pen facing forward and a crumpled cloth or paper.Exhibition HistoryThe Lawrence Lithography Workshop: Highlights from the Archive.
