Description

A close-up portrait features a dark-skinned adult male model with short hair, partially covered in white face paint on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. The model is holding white flowers in front of his face, with one near his mouth and another obscuring part of his eye. The background is blurred and varies from a light blue sky in the upper right corner to light shadows. The image is a magazine cover featuring the masthead "THE PLANT" at the top. The title and model's face suggest the use of theatrical makeup and styling. Text at the bottom lists names. The image has a shallow depth of field.
