A photo of three women standing close together in an art gallery. The woman on the left is wearing a bright pink coat over a graphic top, has long blonde hair in a high ponytail, and looks directly at the camera with a slight smile. The woman in the middle has long, wavy brown hair, wears a black jacket over a yellow plaid crop top, and smiles warmly. The woman on the right wears a sparkling green blouse with a long necklace, has blonde shoulder-length hair, and smiles brightly. The gallery background is clean and minimal, with white walls and a figure slightly visible behind them.
