A middle-aged woman stands under the blazing heat of the sun as she looks up and gazes at something in the sky. Her hand hovers over her face to shade her eyes from the blinding rays of the sun. She is wearing glasses and a hat and is dressed in a dark, long coat despite the harsh sunshine. Behind her is a small pine tree, as well as several other trees in the background. Not far behind the woman, which may belong to her or her family.
