The image is a black and white photograph of an elderly woman standing on a stage with a microphone in front of her. She is wearing a long-sleeved shawl with fringes and a necklace. The woman appears to be speaking into the microphone with a serious expression on her face. The background is dark and there is a curtain behind her. The image is taken from a low angle, so the focus is on the woman and the microphone.
