A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Gloria Vanderbilt, a woman with a light skin tone and dark hair, standing before a large drawing. She looks toward our right, her arms extended to the sides. She wears a patterned, high-collared blouse and layered crescent-shaped necklaces. The faint sketch behind her features a reclining figure and a dark, textured sphere. Vanderbilt stands out against the pale background of the wall and artwork.
