A vertically oriented photogravure in warm brown tones depicts a youth with medium skin tone from the chest up, facing forward. They wear a thick fur garment with a fuzzy collar and a dark knit cap adorned with white circular patterns. Their brow is furrowed, mouth open revealing teeth. The close-up composition focuses on facial textures, with soft light illuminating their features. In the bottom margin, text reads "HOOPER BAY YOUTH."
