The image portrays a lone individual, appearing male, seated on a collection of newspapers spread across a light-colored floor, within what appears to be a studio setting in the city of Barakin Akawo, Nigeria. The individual has dark skin, short, closely cropped hair, and wears white-framed eyeglasses. He is dressed in a dark, long-sleeved shirt or jacket with brass-colored buttons and visible white shirt cuffs, dark trousers, and white, grey, and blue athletic shoes with black socks. His right hand holds a cream-colored, vintage landline telephone receiver to his right ear, indicating active use. The coiled telephone cord extends from the receiver, and the cream-colored, rotary-dial phone base rests on the newspapers to the left of his left leg. His left hand rests on his left thigh. Various newspapers with visible text and images, including a "Business" section headline, form the surface he is seated upon. A curved, reflective metal bar lies on the floor to the right of his right foot. The background is a plain, light grey backdrop.
