A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Nikita Khrushchev, a man with a light skin tone in a light suit, standing in a grocery store. He holds a melon aloft toward a crowd of men. In the foreground, a bin overflows with small melons. Behind him, bagged produce sits on shelves under a sign reading "5 / 4." A large, blurry man in a dark suit frames the scene's right edge.
