Portrait of Frank O'Hara
1952

An expressive oil painting depicting a self-portrait of a male artist with wide eyes and a surprised or intense gaze. The artist's shirt is loosely painted in beige and red tones, with visible brush strokes throughout, giving the work a dynamic and textured appearance. The background is abstract and dark, contrasting with the lighter tones of the figure. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
