The image shows an elderly woman seated on a concrete step. She is leaning forward with her elbows resting on her knees and her hands supporting her face. The woman's facial features are discernible; she has a lined face and is wearing a headscarf that covers most of her hair. Her outfit consists of a long dress or coat, dark-colored hosiery, and light-colored flat shoes. Next to her on the step is a large paper shopping bag. The background features a decorative building facade with intricate carvings to her right and a large, dark doorway behind her.
