stalin.jpg
This is a black-and-white head-and-shoulders portrait of Joseph Stalin, the former leader of the Soviet Union. He is facing forward but looking slightly to his left, which is the viewer's right.

Stalin has light-colored hair that is slicked back and parted on his left side. His eyebrows are thick and dark. His eyes are dark and set beneath heavy brows. A defining feature of his face is a large, bushy mustache that covers his upper lip; the ends of the mustache droop down slightly past the corners of his mouth but remain distinct from his jawline. He has a round face with a heavy chin.

He is wearing a dark military uniform with a high collar. The collar features stiff tabs on each side, shaped like diamonds or lozenges, which contain an emblem that appears to be a star inside a circle or diamond shape. On his shoulders, there are shoulder boards (epaulets) visible at the edges of the frame, which also feature stars and other insignia typical of high-ranking Soviet military officers.

In the bottom left corner of the image, there is small white text that reads "© CORBIS," indicating the copyright holder of the photograph. The background behind him is a plain, light gray gradient, darker at the top and lighter near his shoulders.
