The hazy image of a white person's head and torso, with dark hair and eyes, partially unbuttoned shirt, and dark jacket against a sepia background, set between blank white strips at the field's top and bottom edges. The entire surface blooms with watery stains, which bleed the person's dark hair to feathery purple and fade much of the areas around their face and chest to a grainy gray.
