Description:
A black-and-white photograph of Andrew Young, by Platon. The close-up of Young depicts him in bust pose, from the chest up. He is facing the viewer and tilting his head downwards and very slightly towards his proper left shoulder. His eyes are closed and he has a serious expression on his face. He is wearing a black jacket, a light tone dress shirt, and a bowtie with thin, diagonal, dark, medium, and light tone stripes. The background of the photograph is bright white. The photograph has a thick white border. The edition number, [5/12], is printed in the bottom left corner. The photographer’s signature and date, [Platon 19], is handwritten in the bottom right corner. Inside the border, at the bottom center, is the photographer’s embossed mark: [PLATON ? / EDITIONED ? / PRINT ?[encircled between two bands of embossed dots]]. The back of the photograph is plain and white.
