A woman on a stage smiles at an audience while a figure looks on from backstage.

At center, a woman is seen in profile facing right, standing on a stage. She wears a sleeveless evening gown, dark arm length gloves and is raising her left hand to gesture. She squints in the light shining upward at her face and smiles at an audience that is mostly out of view, except for a figure at lower right, and two more figures at upper right in a balcony. At left, a figure in shadow behind her looks on from the wings. The scene is captured in quick light gray lines and soft shading on a cream colored background.
