This black-and-white photograph depicts a nude man. The man has no legs, and his hips rest on a small, wheeled object similar to a skateboard. He faces us, and his arms are on either side of the wheeled object, his hands curled into fists that rest on the ground. He has light skin and short dark hair, and he wears a mask that covers the upper half of his face, with a dark beard and mustache visible below it. Below the man appears to be a white rug on a dark floor, although the part of the floor surrounding the rug is light. Above him appears to be a triangular roof, and behind him is a triangular white shape, perhaps a window or decoration. On the upper left, white fabric drapes downward.
