She holds a dark rectangular object in her left hand, down by her side. Alongside her, to the right, an East Asian male of similar age wears eyeglasses, a black long-sleeved jacket over a dark t-shirt, dark trousers, and dark athletic shoes with white soles. He carries a grey and purple cross-body bag over his left shoulder and walks with his hands clasped behind his back, looking forward. In the mid-ground, positioned slightly right of center, an East Asian female stands on a set of stone steps that ascend to a multi-tiered stone structure. She wears a long, light-colored coat with a plaid or houndstooth pattern and carries a dark handbag, facing right, partially out of view. To her right, further in the background, an East Asian male, appearing elderly with a bald or very short haircut, stands with his back partially to the viewer, wearing a light-colored long-sleeved shirt and light cargo pants, with hands clasped behind his back.
