A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a nude woman with light skin tone facing forward, her eyes closed. She has short, dark hair and stands with arms crossed over her chest, left hand resting on her right shoulder. Dark pubic hair is visible. She stands out against a dark background, light from the front illuminating her body and a ground of textured dirt and straw.
