The American sculptor Chester Beach (1881-1956) circa 1908 in New York. 8 x 10 inch dry plate glass negative by Gertude Käsebier. View full size.
He's a very handsome young man. His hand, to me, looks strong but sensitive.
Wonderful DOF here. The sculpting hand is put at the focal point, leaving the forward arm in focus, the face in slightly soft focus, and the rearward arm out of focus, giving the photograph great depth.
