The image is a close-up of a sea lion's face. The sea lion is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head slightly tilted upwards. Its eyes are dark and alert, and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is looking directly at the camera. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a body of water, possibly the ocean or a rocky shoreline. The image is in black and white, giving it a monochromatic tone.
