DescriptionThis gelatin silver print is of a somewhat abstract image of two people. A nude white woman is on her back with her legs spread. The arm of an African-American person is coming down between her legs so just her thighs and lower torso are visible.ProvenanceCollection of Robert B. and Joyce F.
