A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a man with a dark skin tone reflected in a rectangular mirror. He is shirtless, with shaving cream on his jaw, leaning in profile over a sink. Below the mirror, a weathered dresser with chipped paint holds a matchbook, razor, watch, brush, bottle, tin, and spoon. Two large, curved supports frame the reflection, centering the figure above the collection of grooming tools.
