The image shows the upper half of an older woman standing in front of a chalkboard. She is captured in profile facing to the right side of the image, with her hands gesturing. Her facial features are distinguished by a serene expression, and she has closely cropped hair that is mostly hidden under a large, round white hat. She wears a white outfit consisting of a tailored jacket over a dress or skirt, a matching scarf draped around her neck, and lace accented sleeves visible at her wrists. She appears to be in an indoor setting that has two armchairs with patterned cushions and a table behind her, with a book and glasses on it. The chalkboard behind her contains handwritten text about a religious service, and there's a heater or radiator against the wall, which is painted in two tones.
