A black-and-white photograph of Samuel L. Jackson, by Platon. Jackson is depicted seated, facing the viewer, with his legs crossed in front of him.

His proper left forearm is folded across his waist. His proper right hand is cradling the top side of his face near his proper right eye with his pinky and ring fingers curled over his eye and his thumb, forefinger, and middle finger splayed over his temple. He is wearing a light tone coat with a round, fur collar and tortoise shell buttons, and jeans. He is wearing an analog wristwatch with a round face on his proper left hand and a bangle bracelet on his proper right hand.
