Carl Van Vechten

William Horne: Jo the Loiterer

1947

A black and white portrait of a smiling man looking upwards, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dark jacket over a plaid shirt. He has a medal pinned to his jacket and is holding onto the lapels. The background appears to be a draped fabric, and there is a signature at the bottom that reads "Photograph by Carl Van Vechten."
