Description:
Visual description: This black and white photograph shows a nude person sitting with their back to the camera on rocky, barren ground. They have dark, shoulder-length hair, and a large body with broad shoulders and a rounded back. Their body casts a distinct shadow on the ground to their right. The person sits on a slightly elevated area of the terrain, in the upper middle section of the image. The ground is rough, textured with cracks and small ridges. Several distinct boulders are visible: three larger ones are positioned in the foreground at the bottom of the image, while another large rock can be seen in the distance facing the figure, in the upper right margin. Another shadow, similar to those cast by the figure and the boulders, is cast on the left margin, but its source is not clear.
