The photo is taken on a train, at a slight downward facing angle showing a close-up shot of a small pocket-book, resting on the photographer's jeans covered legs. The book is mostly a solid mat-black, with a white horizontal streak.

The image is quite dark and low-lit, monochrome in its colour palette, with slight shades of warm browns. The photo has a grainy overlay, giving the general appearance of being a very old photo. Perhaps from the late 20th to early 21st century.
