The image depicts a futuristic scene with a woman in the foreground and a spacecraft in the background. The woman has a voluminous, blonde hairstyle and is wearing a high-collared, ornate dress with a floral pattern in green, orange, and black. She has large, circular earrings and a serious expression. The spacecraft is a sleek, dark green design with red accents, hovering above a reddish-orange desert landscape. In the background, there are several small figures, possibly astronauts, walking near the spacecraft. The sky is partly cloudy, and the overall atmosphere suggests a science fiction setting.
