content: A black-and-white photograph of Elaine Brown, by Platon. The close-up of Brown depicts only her face in heavy shadow. Her face is titled toward the left edge of the photograph, and she is looking up and to the right and has a serious expression on her face. Her hair is pulled back from her face and she is wearing round, diamond stud earrings in her ears. Her hair and the proper right side of her face are heavily shadowed. The background of the photograph is black. The photograph has a thick white border. The edition number, [5/12], is printed in the bottom left corner. The photographer’s signature and date, [Platon 19], is handwritten in the bottom right corner. Inside the border, at the bottom center, is the photographer’s embossed mark: [PLATON ? / EDITIONED ? / PRINT ?[encircled between two bands of embossed dots]]. The back of the photograph is plain and white.
