The image is a contact sheet with black and white photographs. The pictures feature close-up shots of an elderly woman from the waist up in various poses. She is seated, looking towards different angles. The woman has a lined face, wears a headscarf or cap, and a dark coat over a light-patterned top. In some images, she is holding a cigarette. The background includes wooden elements, possibly an interior setting. Other images show buildings and streets from urban scenes with architectural details.
