The image shows a woman walking down a sidewalk. Her body is captured in profile from the shoulders down to her knees. Her face is turned away from the camera, making her facial features indistinguishable. She has light-colored hair and is wearing a hat. She is dressed in a striped coat with a belt, and she carries a rectangular handbag and wears gloves. In the background, another woman is walking in the opposite direction, wearing a dark coat with a white collar and holding something in her hand. The scene is set in an urban environment with a concrete sidewalk and a blurred outline of a building in the background.
