This gelatin silver print depicts a closely framed portrait of Maya Angelou. Angelou looks off camera to the right of the frame and holds her PL hand in front of her face; the hand is mostly in profile with the fingers splayed. The thumb and middle finger curl towards each other in a "c" shape. Angelou wears hoop earrings and a necklace; the light hits the PL side of her face.
