I'd say just the opposite. Aperture design shows up at about f11.
I'd guess this at f16. That would account for the sharpness of
the subject who is relatively close. That requires a lot of DOF,
only available at a small aperture.
Evaluating the focal length is more difficult. Because the background
is a bit compressed to the subject, I'd say a 135mm lens, or at least
100mm. That would also account for the flash not lighting anything
in the background.
