The image shows an older woman clapping, captured from the shoulders up. She is slightly turned to the side and has motion blur on her hands. The woman has a full face with prominent cheekbones, wearing large cat-eye-style glasses and a dark, textured hat. She is dressed in a patterned blouse, with a pearl necklace and hoop earrings. In the background, there is a blurred figure of a man in a suit and tie, with an indistinct, lighter toned indoor backdrop.
