Dusenberry was a neighbor of Dove's who lived in a houseboat on the North Shore of Long Island. The objects in this abstract portrait were selected for their associations with his personality and interests. The pieces of weathered wood, for example, refer to the docks, shingled cabins, and shipbuilding materials of the marine environment. The sheet music pasted at the bottom is a hymn that Dusenberry often sang, and the folding rulers that frame the work are attributes of his profession as architect.
