A close-up, upward-angled portrait of an adult male in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria, occupies the frame. His dark-toned face is partially covered with a granular, dark grey substance. A vertical application extends from his forehead down the bridge of his nose. Horizontal lines of the substance are present below each eye, extending towards the temples. His lips and chin are coated in the same dark material. Scattered specks are visible on his left cheek and forehead. The individual exhibits a neutral expression, looking directly forward. His bare shoulders and upper chest are visible. The background is out of focus, featuring a gradient from a light blue-grey sky-like tone at the top to a muted beige below, with a faint, dark, rectangular architectural element visible on the right side.
