This is a photograph of a mannequin in a shop window wearing a tuxedo with a bowtie. The mannequin is wrapped in plastic, creating reflective patterns over the white tuxedo. A strong shadow of a person is projected on the tuxedo. The texture of the brick wall and the juxtaposition of the flat, shiny surface of the glass contribute to the depth of the image. The corner displays various print media, including what appears to be an illustration or photograph of a suited figure.
