Portrait of Frank Benson

This is a portrait of a man with a pitch black background. The photo looks contrived because of the background. The man looks either serious or surprised and is facing forward, and slightly off to the right side. He is wearing a dark suit, black bow tie, and white collared shirt. The image stops at his chest. At the bottom, in the white border space, at the far right, there are the printed words in italics: “Photo by L. Caswell Smith.”
