The image displays a small, oval-shaped mirror with an ornate frame reflecting only a portion of a person's face. The upper part of the person's head is visible, partially covered with a dark knit hat. The facial features are obscured by shadows and reflections. The mirror is mounted on a reflective surface showing the reflection of bare winter trees and a building. The photo is in black and white, emphasizing the contrast between the dark figure and the lighter reflections of the background.
