The image displays the upper half of a person's body gripping a chain-link fence with both hands. The person is directly facing the viewer and has short hair, wide upward-gazing eyes, slightly parted lips, and a prominent nose. They wear a long-sleeved light-colored shirt. A distant figure in light clothing is seen with arms crossed in the upper half of the image. The background shows a textured surface, possibly paved or gravel.
