Label Text:Jerry depicts artist Jared French (1902-1989) and was done while Cadmus and French were traveling together, specifically shortly after their arrival in Europe in late 1931. French is depicted reclining in bed, nude from the waist up, half covered by a sheet, lit by artificial light as he pauses in his reading of James Joyce's Ulysses to gaze up reflectively at the artist/viewer.
