Stirling Moss, his face intense and sweaty, drinks from a glass after a dramatic retirement from the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. He had led the field alongside Juan Manuel Fangio in his Mercedes-Benz W196 for nearly the entire race before a broken oil line forced him to stop in front of the pits. This candid portrait, with its shallow depth of field, captures his focused expression and distinctive wristwatch as he is isolated from the blurred crowd of onlookers.
