The image shows a woman in a mid-length dress, standing and slightly leaning against a corner wall. She is holding a telephone receiver to her ear with one hand and likely supporting herself or another object with her other hand. Her facial features are partly obscured due to the angle, but she wears glasses, and her hair appears to be dark and styled in a short, wavy manner. Her dress is light-colored and has short sleeves, with a cinched waist. No jewelry is visible. The background consists of a filing cabinet with multiple drawers, and there is a large window that provides natural light into the room.
