The image displays the upper half of a person's body positioned next to a tree, partially obscured by a display of flowers and foliage. They have short dark hair, wear a beret, and dark clothing blending with the foliage. Their expression is neutral. Trumpet players are visible to the left, and in the background, there is a street with people walking about in mid-20th-century-style clothing near urban buildings with balconies and large windows.
