The windows let warm light in from the outside. Ford wears the classic Indiana Jones outfit: a brown hat, brown leather jacket, whit button-up and black tie. He raises his iconic whip in his right hand, bracing to use it. His face looks like one of shock or surprise, as if caught off guard by whoever stands in front of him out of view. His eyes are wide, his mouth slightly open but tensed.
