The image shows an elderly woman from the waist up, standing and holding a bouquet of flowers. She is facing slightly downwards, with her eyes cast towards the flowers. Her facial features include a softly lined face, and her hair is mostly covered by a dark hat, with just a glimpse of lighter hair visible at the sides. She is wearing a coat with a furry collar, and a patterned scarf is tied around her neck. On her left hand, she wears a ring. In the background, there is another person blurred and a soft glow of city lights, suggesting an indoor or nighttime setting.
