This black and white, close-up portrait features an adult female subject positioned centrally within a commercial retail or tailoring environment. The subject, likely of African ethnicity, gazes directly at the camera with a slight, closed-lip smile. She wears a patterned headwrap, a light-colored, possibly textured short-sleeved top, and a white measuring tape with black numerical markings (approximately 22-39 inches) is draped around her neck. A small, heart-shaped pendant necklace is visible beneath the tape, and a bracelet adorns her left wrist. Dimples are present on her cheeks. In the left background, a dark, vertically slatted structure, possibly a security gate or partition, is visible. Behind this structure, a light-skinned female mannequin with blonde hair, wearing a dark top, is partially discernible. The right background consists of a textured wall and a wooden-framed window with a translucent pane, admitting ambient light. The presence of the measuring tape and mannequin indicates a commercial establishment, likely a tailoring shop or a clothing retail outlet. This type of local business environment is common throughout urban and suburban areas of Lagos, Nigeria. While no specific street or landmark is identifiable, the scene is consistent with such an establishment within the city of Lagos.
