Olympic sprinter Stella Walsh poses at center while sitting on a ship's handrail. She sports a long overcoat and rests a hand in her coat pocket as she looks to camera. A pin on her hat is of the Japanese flag. The ship's rail enters frame at left and stretches across the image towards center. A sign below the railing and to the right of Stella's legs reads, "[...] DECK [...] [Japanese characters]." Directly behind Stella Walsh, a ship's cabin stretches across the background.
