Three people looking at the camera, head and shoulders visible. The woman in the centre is powerful, in a red spiked headdress and red dress, with a cheeky look on her face. On either side is a shirtless man, one with arms folded, a small amount of make up and muscles bulging. The other has a elaborate eye make up, a cheeky look on his face, and lacy gloves held up to his face.
