An individual is depicted seated against a plain, light-colored backdrop, characteristic of a studio setup, within the city of Barakin Akawo, Nigeria. The subject is a male with dark skin, short dark hair, and rimless eyeglasses that reflect light. He is dressed in a dark, collared jacket featuring brass-colored buttons on the front and two chest pockets, worn over a dark undershirt and a white long-sleeved garment visible at the cuffs. He wears dark trousers and white, grey, and light blue athletic sneakers with laces. The floor area around and beneath the individual is completely covered with numerous sheets of printed newspapers. The subject sits upright, facing the viewer directly, with his right hand resting on his lap. A metallic object, possibly a chair leg or studio equipment, is partially visible on the lower right of the frame. The scene is illuminated by artificial light, casting soft shadows.
