A vertically oriented photograph in black and white depicts architectural details of an ornate building. Within stone arches, illustrated panels show figures with light skin tones. In the center, a nude figure faces our left, reaching up to shower. To our right, a man with a mustache and chest hair shaves over a pedestal sink. Intricate stone carvings and brickwork flank the scenes, which feature dark outlines against light, tiled backgrounds.
