Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A color digital print photograph portrait of Pat Evans and Isaac Hayes captured by Anthony Barboza during a photoshoot for Essence magazine. The two are depicted standing side-by-side against a light gray studio backdrop. Evans, on the left, wears a long olive green halter dress with matching green shoes. At her waist is a ribbon belt with thin gold, red, blue, orange, and white stripes and a large, gold pendant suspended at the center. The pendant is shaped like a human face with a slightly opened mouth, high cheekbones, and closed eyes. Evans also wears two gold bangles on her arms: one on her proper right forearm, and the other over her proper left bicep. Her right elbow is bent, and she is resting her hand on her collarbone. Her left arm is tucked behind her back. Evan’s head is shaved, and her face is turned in profile towards Haye’s shoulder, on the right.
