The image displays a close-up portrait of a dark-skinned male, captured outdoors in Markurdi, Nigeria. The subject has short, dark, curly hair on the top of his head, with multiple dark braids or dreadlocks visible extending past his left shoulder. He has a trimmed beard and mustache, and a silver-colored hoop earring is present in his left ear. His skin, particularly on his face, chest, and shoulders, exhibits a moist or wet appearance. He is shirtless, with a light-colored, possibly beige or cream, towel draped over his right shoulder. His right hand, with fingers slightly curled, rests near the towel on his chest. The subject looks directly forward with a neutral expression. The background consists of a light grey wall, likely concrete, with a horizontal line demarcating a darker, textured upper section from a lighter, smoother lower section. Bright natural light illuminates the scene.
