A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a female performer in costume. She is depicted dancing on a stage. She is wearing a black, string bikini.

Behind her is a low, white picket fence, decorated with plants and ivy. A cut out of an illustrated man with the end of an arrow protruding from his backside sits on top of the picket fence. To the left of the fence is a man in a white suit jacket, black pants, and a dark bow tie. Several people are watching the woman perform from behind the picket fence. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
