This black-and-white photograph shows a man walking forward while adjusting his jacket. He has pale skin, short stubble on his chin and upper lip, and curly dark hair that surrounds his head. He is wearing dark sunglasses and a dark-colored, double-breasted suit with a patterned shirt visible around the collar, and shiny black shoes. The background is mostly bare, flat round, although two people are visible on the left, a man in a suit and a woman in a white ruffled dress. On the right there appears to be a tall stone wall or structure with vines crawling up the side. There is a sign in the background, but the words on it have been obscured by a bright reflection. The sky above is dark.
