A vertically oriented photogravure in warm sepia tones depicts a person with light skin tone from the chest up, looking directly at us with a steady gaze. They wear a patterned headwrap and two thick dark braids. Large shell earrings and strands of white beads adorn a dark garment with light vertical bands and a round medallion. Their face is captured in soft light, with their mouth set in a neutral, firm line.
