The image is a black and white photograph of a circus performer performing on a trapeze. The performer is in the center of the image, with her body stretched out to the sides and her arms and legs extended above her head. She is wearing a harness and is holding onto the ropes with both hands. The background is dark, and there is a shadow of the performer on the right side of the frame. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the performer.
