Description:
A color photograph of Tupac Shakur in Harlem, 1995. Shakur, dressed in white and red, is raising his shirt to expose a [THUG LIFE] tattoo on his torso. He holds a cigar in his proper left hand and a bottle wrapped in a paper bag in his proper right. He wears a large cross medallion on his chest and a red and white bandanna tied around his head. The image is signed and dated by Michael Benabib on the front. An inscription on the back by Bill Adler identifies the subject, photographer, date and location.
