A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts three women with light skin tones and short, wavy hair holding teacups on saucers and standing in a room with framed art behind them and a book-packed shelf on the left. The woman furthest to the left holds a newspaper under her arm and smiles at the central woman who smiles at the third, standing on the right with her head turned away so we see only her hair.
