The image shows the upper half of a person's body facing the camera. They have both hands raised to their forehead, with a serious expression. Their eyes are partly in shadow, and they have dark hair styled neatly. They wear a buttoned-up light-colored shirt and a bracelet on their left wrist. The background is dark.
