Quentin Crisp for Nexus Magazine circa December 1983
A black and white photo of Quentin Crisp, an older white actor, writer, and humorist—who identified as a gay man for most of their life, but shortly before their death wrote that they were a transgender woman—sitting on a white metal chair on a covered patio. Crisp has short light hair and is wearing a dark hat, a long sleeved button up collared shirt, a dark textured sweater, an abstract neck tie, pants, clog type shoes, rings, and light makeup.
