She is also wearing a choker necklace with a large, triangular metal bezel at the center attached to an elongated, metal drop pendant. In the background is a man seated at a piano. Behind the musicians is a wall with a white acoustic panel mounted over a dark wall. The square shaped image has a thick white border. The back of the photograph is plain and white.
