The image shows an older woman standing upright with her torso turned slightly to the left. She has her left hand placed on her lower back and is looking to the left. Her facial features are mature, with a broad nose and high cheekbones, and her hair is styled in cornrows. She wears a sleeveless dress adorned with a floral pattern and flip-flops. To her left, another woman is partially visible, standing against a floral backdrop. The background consists of a floral-patterned fabric, a wall with the partially visible word "BAR," and a rough cement surface.
