A portrait of a blonde woman from the 1940s. She wears a turquoise dress with little bright sparkles. Her golden earring has a turquoise diamond, and her eyes are blue. She watches into the future, with a slight smile, where a golden light awaits and is reflected on her face. She is accompanied by two bees who merrily dance before her, against a pink background.
