A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts the profile of Ésipérmi, a Comanche person with medium-dark skin tone, facing right. Their wrinkled face and furrowed brow emerge from the shadows. They wear a fringed shirt, a medallion, and a thin earring. Beaded strands and a thick, fur-wrapped braid hang from their hair. Below, their hand holds a feather fan. Soft light catches their profile against the dark, hazy background.
