The image shows a woman sitting on a stone bench. She has one arm on the back of the bench and the other in her lap. She has long, wavy gray or silver hair and is wearing a dark blouse with a white ruffled collar and cuffs, along with a long pinkish skirt. There are flowers around her and in pots nearby. The background includes an architectural setting with detailed stonework and a smaller figure peeking from behind a column. A tree is visible in the distance.
