the black and white photograph presents a closeup portrait of a young woman with a short, dark bob. she is nude from the chest up, her hands gently caressing her breasts. a cigarette is held loosely between her fingers in her left hand. her expression is serious, and her gaze is directed slightly away from the camera. the background is a plain grey, keeping the focus entirely on the subject. the photograph evokes a mood of introspection and sensual vulnerability, indicative of art photography styles prevalent in the mid20th century. the overall aesthetic is stark and minimalist, with the subject's body and expression being the sole focus.
