This nearly square black and white photograph shows the head and shoulders of a person in front of a plain wall. Wearing a dark V-necked shirt, the person has an oval-shaped face and dark hair rolled in curlers. Finely plucked dark eyebrows frame large, luminous dark eyes, and the full lips are slightly open. A lit cigarette is held aloft in the person’s long-nailed left hand, on our right. Light comes from the left and deepens into shadow across the right half of the photograph.
