A vertically oriented gelatin silver print depicts an older man, Nikita Khrushchev, seated facing our right at a dark table. He rests his head in his left hand, while his right arm lies near a document titled JOURNAL. Strong contrast and deep shadows obscure his suit, emphasizing his balding head and light skin tone. A notepad and pen occupy the foreground, and a white, curved chair back rises behind him.
