Chuck Close

Alex / Reduction Block
1993

A detailed black and white portrait of a middle-aged man with a stern expression, featuring pronounced lines and wrinkles on his face, short hair, and wearing a dark jacket. The artwork has a textured appearance, with visible strokes and shading that give it a three-dimensional quality. There are signatures and numbers at the bottom, suggesting it is a print or a piece of art.
