This black and white photograph is of the Greek-American painter George Mavroides, who was born in 1912 and lived until 2003. He is shown standing against a plain background wearing a dark coat splattered with paint, reminiscent of the work of an artist. His stoic expression and the cane he holds suggest a man of a certain age and wisdom gained through a lifetime of artistic practice. The photograph may be a self-portrait or a portrait taken by a photographer who was documenting Mavroides's artistic process.
