A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Nikita Khrushchev, a man with a light skin tone, standing among several men. Khrushchev wears a dark jacket and light fedora, his expression solemn. In the foreground, a worker processes a large carcass. Men in white coats and hats crowd around Khrushchev, most looking toward the worker while a man on our right looks at us. A bright bulb illuminates the tiled wall.
