The image depicts a white marble sculpture of a woman titled "Ruth Gleaning" by Randolph Rogers. The woman has short wavy hair tucked behind her head. She wears a draped dress that exposes her right shoulder and chest. The dress drapes over her left shoulder and wraps around her body. Her right knee is bent and on the ground, while her left foot is on the base. Her right arm is extended outward and downward, while her left arm holds fabric. The sculpture sits on a marble base with an octagonal shape. The background of the image is a gradient gray. The woman looks up and to her right. She appears to be kneeling.
