Edward Steichen

Thomas Mann, New York
1934

Black and white portrait of a middle-aged man with a mustache, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. He is wearing a dark suit and tie, and the lighting casts dramatic shadows on his face and the background. The left side of the image has a lighter area, possibly due to the lighting or the age of the photograph.
