The image is a black and white portrait showing a person's face and part of their upper body. The person is facing the camera with a gentle smile. She has medium-length hair styled back with some wisps falling around her face. Her hair is light in color. Her facial features include a broad smile, dark eyes, and a clear complexion. She is wearing a high-necked, dark top contrasting with her skin tone. The background is plain and out of focus, suggesting a studio setting. There is no visible jewelry or objects, and the text "Gretchen Bender" is printed in white in the bottom left corner.
