The image depicts a woman and an older man outdoors. The woman is shown from the waist up, standing mostly at the right of the image. She has short blonde hair, large round earrings, sharp facial features, and is looking at the camera. She wears an ornate gown with lace, frills, a sash reading "HARRY CHANDLER," and a floral detail. She has a lace glove on her right hand. Next to her is an older man in a dark suit, light hat, and glasses, holding newspapers under his left arm. Architectural details are visible in the background, including a large column. Another man in a suit and hat is partially visible behind them. The setting appears to be an outdoor area beside a building.
