The image shows a small, black and white photograph centered on a large, cream-colored canvas. The photograph displays a close-up portion of an infant or fetus, with a visible head and limbs. The individual's head is turned slightly to one side, displaying minimal facial features due to the grainy texture of the photograph. They appear to be in a curled-up position, with one of their arms near their head. Details about hair or skin texture are not discernible. There is no visible clothing or jewelry. The background is plain cream paper with handwritten text along the left edge that reads "Female Fetus 18 weeks." There are no additional objects in the composition.
