A portrait image captures two individuals, one male and one female, standing closely side-by-side in Dan Maliki, Nigeria. Both subjects are looking directly at the camera with neutral to slightly smiling expressions. The male, positioned on the left, has a dark complexion, a trimmed dark beard, and a mustache. He wears a white, collared garment, partially revealing a pocket or panel on his right side with a grey and black argyle-like pattern. On his head, he wears a structured cap featuring vertical striped patterns in brown and light beige. The female, positioned on the right, also has a dark complexion. She wears a light peach-colored headscarf draped over her head and shoulders, which is embroidered with multi-colored floral designs in red, green, and gold, interspersed with small reflective elements. A thin gold-colored chain necklace is visible, and her underlying garment features dense gold embroidery around the neckline. The background consists of a plain, textured light beige concrete wall, exhibiting minor surface imperfections and discoloration. A dark, elongated, multi-stranded object, resembling a weathered cable or dried plant material, is visible extending diagonally upwards behind the male subject's head against the wall. The scene is illuminated by diffused, even lighting.
