The image shows an older woman visible from the waist up, standing behind a screen door. She is positioned facing the viewer, with a neutral expression on her face. Her hair is short and curly, appearing to be light-colored. She is wearing a patterned sleeveless dress with a light-colored floral and geometric design. Around her neck, she wears a pearl necklace. Another person is partially visible on the left side of the image, behind the screen, but they are in the shadows. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly a dimly lit hallway or room, and the scene is viewed through a screen door, adding a textured overlay to the photograph.
