The image depicts a shirtless man from the waist up with his arms raised above his head, resting on the back of his head. He has a beard and mustache, with short, dark hair that appears damp or slicked back. The man stands in front of a brick wall, with various items on the shelf behind him, including a photograph of two people and multiple small sculptures or busts. The background suggests an indoor setting. There is a booklet with a visible "Paris" on the cover on the left side of the image. The overall tone of the photograph is monochromatic.
