A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a man with a light skin tone seated facing us in a striped armchair. He wears a dark jacket, patterned tie, and light trousers, right hand clutching a glass and left hand holding a cigarette. To our right, a floor lamp illuminates the wood floor and a patterned rug. Handwritten text and a signature mark the white border, framing the high-contrast scene.
