Description
A close-up, frontal portrait of a boy with short black hair cut in a rounded bowl shape, large dark eyes, and a neutral expression, rendered in bold flat blocks of grey, black, and cream. He wears a dark, unpatterned top and stands with his forearms crossed at the bottom edge of the composition, hands loosely folded. The mottled cream background includes a small rectangular block motif in the upper right corner; the print is pencil-signed "Jun. Sekino" below the image and numbered 15/100 at the lower left, with Sekino's carved seal beside the signature.
