Edward Steichen

Winston Churchill, New York
1932

A black and white photograph of a stern-looking middle-aged man seated and facing the camera with a direct gaze. He has a receding hairline, is wearing a dark suit with a bow tie, and has his left hand resting on his thigh. The lighting accentuates his facial features and creates a dramatic contrast.
