content: A black-and-white photograph of Paquito D’Rivera, by Platon. D’Rivera is depicted seated with his proper left ankle cross over his proper right knee. The photograph was taken from near his proper left foot which appears disproportionately large in the foreground. D’Rivera is holding the top and bottom of a clarinet with both hands. His proper left elbow is resting on the inside of his proper left thigh and he is resting the side of his face on the knuckles of his hand wrapped around the mouthpiece of a clarinet. His proper right hand is wrapped around the base of the clarinet which is resting in his lap. He has a serious expression on his face and he is looking slightly upwards into the distance. He is wearing a black, button-down shirt with vertical bands of white floral embroidery running down the front shirt panel from the shoulders and the collar. He’s also wearing dark pinstripe trousers and wingtip shoes. 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.
