A vintage black and white photograph of a woman standing confidently, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a short-sleeved blouse, and wide-legged trousers. She is holding a striped handbag and appears to be posing for a fashion shoot. The lighting casts soft shadows, highlighting her attire and poised stance.
