The image shows a woman from her upper legs upwards, positioned in a crouching stance as if ready to catch a ball. She has long hair peeking out from beneath a baseball cap that has an "a" logo on it. Her facial expression is neutral, with visible eyebrows and a direct gaze towards the camera. She is wearing a long-sleeved, striped top and jeans, with striped socks visible above her sneakers. In her hand, she holds a baseball glove. The background features dense foliage and greenery, with the ground beneath her covered in grass. The image is in black and white. The text "Bea NETTLES" is printed at the bottom of the image.
