ALT A chest-up portrait of Laurie Anderson holding her electric violin and standing outside in front of construction fencing, with a brick warehouse-style building behind. Laurie is white and 74 years old with short grey hair worn under a black beanie hat. She faces slightly to the left and looks far left with a closed-mouth smile. She is wearing coral lipstick, a black and grey checked shirt and a wooden beaded bracelet, and holds a long violin bow upward in her hand; her slender electric violin rests against her collarbone.
