Dense Caption

Grayscale pixel art depicts a figure with short, light-toned hair against a gradient background. The figure wears a dark jacket over a lighter shirt, with one arm bent at the elbow. A rectangular dark shape is held close to the lower face area. Pixelation obscures fine details; no text or symbols are visible on clothing or background. Composition centers the figure slightly left of horizontal midline.
