The album cover photo was taken by Ken Reagsan in Plymouth, Massachusetts, during the opening days of Dylan's "Rolling Thunder Revue" tour in this small park by the water. It's called the Plymouth Memorial State Park.
Dylan is wearing a light gray hat adorned with flowers, a black scarf with large tan spots on it, and a red, white, black, and orange Navajo-type coat.
The cover photo by Ken Regan is reportedly inspired by the one on the 1970 solo album by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, The Wolf King Of L.A.!

artist
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social unrest, although Dylan repudiated suggestions from journalists that he was a spokesman for his generation.
Nevertheless, early songs such as 'Blowin' in the Wind' and 'The Times They Are a-Changin' became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements. After he left his initial base in the American folk music revival, his six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" altered the range of popular music in 1965.
