Description

This striking portrait features a Black woman with a shaved head gazing forward within an ornate picture frame, wearing a patterned collared shirt, dark tie, and blazer. A surgical blade appears to pierce her chest, with a small amount of blood visible around the incision against a soft purple backdrop inside the frame. The framed artwork is set against a dark, moody background with promotional text at the bottom reading The Fall of the House of Usher, only on Netflix, October 12. The lighting is focused and dramatic, highlighting the subject's face and expression while casting soft shadows. This cinematic key art piece was captured by photographer and director Brendan Meadows.
