You see a nude male figure standing in a neutral background. He's posed in a classical way, like models in art schools. The photo is interesting because it was made to help painters and sculptors practice drawing the human body. You can learn more about the technique used to create this image at the museum where it's kept, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
