Art style: Clay / Plasticine.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered on a New York sidewalk, the city filling the sides. Alex is a middle-aged man in his early fifties, average height and slightly soft build, with a gentle unremarkable face — rounded cheeks, tired kind hazel eyes behind simple thin-rimmed glasses, a short greying stubble, and thinning salt-and-pepper hair under a worn flat cap. He wears a faded olive wool overcoat over a grey knit sweater, a loosely knotted brown scarf, slightly wrinkled brown trousers, and scuffed dark leather lace-up shoes. A canvas satchel hangs across his chest, hands warm in his pockets. His posture is modest and slightly stooped, a soft, approachable half-smile on his lips. Autumn evening light, taxis and brownstones blurred behind him, wet pavement reflecting storefront glow.
