Description de l’image
The image shows an individual from the chest up, positioned slightly to the side but facing forward. The person has dark, neatly combed hair and a calm gaze. They are wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt with a high collar, and holding a book with a brown cover below chest level against their body. The background is a solid muted green color.
