A square black-and-white photograph depicts a high-angle overhead shot of a dense crowd with light skin tones. People wearing dark coats and hats pack together, encircling a central circular clearing. In this space, one figure stands over another to cut their hair. Onlookers face inward toward the action. Sharp focus and high contrast emphasize heads and shoulders against deep shadows between the tightly clustered figures.
