The image shows a woman standing in a medium shot, facing slightly to the side. She has short, light-colored hair and wears a light-colored, sleeveless dress with floral patterns. She has a corsage pinned to her dress and holds a clear glass with a drink in her right hand. On a portable bar or cart in front of her are several glasses with ice and possibly liquid, an ashtray, and stacks of cash. The background is dark, with indistinct formally dressed figures, suggesting a dimly lit event or gathering.
