Inside the image.

A square photographic cover shows a fair-haired woman standing beside a large harp. She occupies the centre-right, framed from around the waist upwards, and turns her face towards the viewer. Her long, straight blonde hair falls over her shoulders. She wears a dark burgundy-brown leather jacket over a bright blue patterned scarf and blue clothing. Her hands rest together near the harp, around the level of her waist. Her expression is serious and composed.

The harp fills much of the left foreground. Its golden-orange curved neck sweeps down from the upper-left edge towards the woman, with rows of tuning pins and fine strings extending vertically through the frame. A dark, uneven rock face forms the background, mottled with grey, brown and green patches. The woman and harp stand out against it; the close framing leaves little open space, and the harp's strings continue beyond the lower edge. The photograph has natural, somewhat soft outdoor light, with brighter highlights on her face and hair and darker tones in the rock and jacket.

White uppercase lettering at the upper left reads “GWENAN” above the larger “GIBBARD”, set in narrow, tall serif letters. A fine blue line runs horizontally behind the lower part of the name. Along the right edge, the word “Sain” is set vertically in very large, thin, pale letters, with a blue outline or shadow; it is partially cropped by the top and bottom edges. The lettering overlays the photograph. The image is photographic, with visible detail in the rock, hair, leather and harp strings.
