Freely drawn, bust-length portrait of Michigan poet William Shaw, with "Bill Shaw" written next to his head. The image was created as a proposal for an unpublished keepsake project with Logan Elm Press [CMA 2013.057.053.001]. The first impression [CMA 2013.057.044] was executed in drypoint only, while another one marked "first state" [CMA 2013.057.053.001] has a darker background and defined stripes in the author's shirt.
