Juliana Hall (b. 1958) is an American art-song composer. Here, she can be seen composing at the piano with an Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602*. Along with animators, musicians were some of the most ardent exponents of the Faber Blackwing.
*Unless it happens to be a Microtomic.
That looks like a Microtomic pencil because of the long shank under the Blackwing eraser. It has two or three rings there which seems more similar to the Microtomic, but these old eyes could be wrong.

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the photo, but for a slightly different reason: the placement of the logo. But the Blackwing can be found with just about every version of the Clamp ferrule: black with gold band, gold with black band, gold with no band, black with painted orange band, silver with knurled band, silver with black band, etc. Still, though, it might possibly be a Microtomic; I’ll update the post to reflect that.

That was, indeed, a Blackwing – I used to buy them by the gross. One beautiful pencil.
