A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a person facing us, bare-chested. A light-colored rose is held between their lips. Against a dark background, strong highlights illuminate their forehead, nose, and shoulders. Their intense gaze looks forward beneath thick eyebrows. A thin metal chain hangs around their neck. In the bottom right corner of the white margin, a small signature is visible.
