Description:
A color Polaroid photograph of a painting on an easel by Donna Summer, taken by Donna Summer. The image is centered on an abstract portrait of a Native American man in regalia, sitting on an easel. The man is shown in bust pose on the right of the portrait, with his head turned towards his proper right shoulder. He is wearing white regalia with blue and gold detailing on the sleeves and collars, as well as a war bonnet with yellow and white feathers and blue and red ribbons framing his face. The man is painted against a red, black, and white striped background at the top and a yellow background at the bottom. The painting is resting against a thin white board. The portrait, and the wooden easel it is sitting on, partially obscures another painting resting on the floor behind it. The painting on the floor is highly abstract and set against a black background. It features horizontal black and yellow stripes as well as vertical blue, yellow, and black stripes. At the top center is a finger with a red fingernail just below a wedge shape with a leopard print pattern. The painting is resting on a medium brown wooden floor and leaning against a plain white wall. In the background is a set of windows with gray valence hanging above. The back of the polaroid is black with a white frame. The date and film code, [02111111089], is printed in the bottom left corner with [POLAROID ® 6] in the right corner.
