Attributed: Irving Penn (American, 1917-2009).

An original photograph of titled "Hausa Man" - N. Dahomey (Benin) Usis Photo.

While I am unable to certainly identify this piece as Irving Penn - it was taken and printed during the time of his Dahomey photography, which is housed in major collections and institutes such as the Art Institute of Chicago.

This piece came from an important New York City collection amongst many important photographers and painters.
