An adult female is depicted in a close-up portrait, located in Nsukka, Nigeria. She has dark skin and wears a red, open-mesh head covering over a black headband. Her facial features are prominently lit by strong, direct sunlight, creating specular highlights across her forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin, with shadows cast beneath her eyes. Her eyes are narrowed and directed towards the viewer, and her lips are slightly parted. A small, metallic earpiece or earring is visible on her left earlobe. She is wearing a dark, possibly black or charcoal-colored, garment with visible texture draped over her shoulders and chest. The background to the left features a dark, textured wall, upon which distinct diamond-shaped patterns of light are cast. The background to the right is darker and less defined, showing faint horizontal structural elements.
