This is a black and white photograph taken at a flea-market. A button-down shirt hangs in the foreground along the right side of the image. A hand reaches out at center, but the person it belongs to is obscured by the jacket hanging in the foreground. Just behind the hand, clothing is piled on an upholstered piece of furniture, and a white sheet hangs from an unseen source on the lower left side of the image.

Info from Frontice Sheet - All black and white photographs are vintage silver prints, printed on Portriga Rapid III Matt Paper (noted as the highest quantity silver content paper ever made for mass use) Selenium Toned and printed by Joel D. Levinson from 1975 - 1986 and sold only in the 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 sizes. Not a single balck and white print was made or printed after 1986.
