Against a vibrant blue background a Black performer stands side-on facing the left. They wear their hair in vibrant orange twists. They are wearing a loose fitting striped pale blue long sleeved shirt and a navy waistcoat with a red flower in the breast pocket. Flowers and leaves appear to grow out of them and their clothing. Their head is tilted slightly upwards, looking on with a neutral expression. In the bottom half of the image we see an upside down rippled reflection, as if it's a reflection on the water's surface.
