The image shows a woman standing behind a wooden podium with the Smithsonian Institution logo on it. She is speaking into a microphone and appears to be giving a speech or presentation. The woman is wearing a black coat and a gray scarf, and her hair is pulled back in a ponytail. She has a name tag around her neck and is gesturing with her hands as she speaks. The background shows a stone archway and a wooden door. The image appears to have been taken in a large room with high ceilings and ornate decorations.
