Photo description: A woman with long brown hair, parted on the left, is seated at a table. We see her from the elbows up. She faces the camera, smiling. She wears a light peach colored blouse and jacket. Behind her is a window through which we see a night-time city scene, in which little, except for the partial form of a car, is distinguishable.
