Based on a forensic glass negative from old NYC police headquarters, this drawing documents an unidentified man found in the snow around 1916. The stark, clinical line style mirrors the detachment of early police photography. High-density shadows paired with minimal detail give the subject a cold, cinematic isolation reminiscent of noir imagery.
