The image shows the shoulder and partial back of a person wearing a white sailor's hat and a shirt with white stripes on the sleeves. The person is partially obscured by a poster. The poster advertises an event at Fillmore Auditorium on Sunday, May 6th, featuring "Roy Milton and His Orchestra." Next to the poster, there is another person visible, wearing a dark hat, and smiling with part of their face showing. The background appears to be indoors with a dark wall and possibly some reflections suggesting the presence of a window or a mirror.
