A black-and-white promotional portrait of musician Cat Power, captured from the chest up by photographers Inez and Vinoodh. The artist is dressed in a structured, dark suit jacket over a crisp white button-down shirt with a dark necktie. Their left hand is raised slightly, with the fingers gently holding a section of their long, dark hair which cascades down past their shoulders with thick, full bangs partially veiling the face. The individual looks directly at the camera with a subtle, serene expression. The portrait is set against a clean, neutral grey background with soft studio lighting.
