A horizontal black-and-white platinum print depicts a muscular forearm with medium skin tone and raised veins extending vertically into the space between two light-toned legs. The legs stretch toward our left and right, forming a wide V-shape, with a hand gripping the center. High contrast lighting illuminates the smooth skin and vascular textures, with the rest of the body and background cast into deep shadow.
