Photo of an empty stage set up for an event. A central tan upholstered throne-style chair with carved dark wood back and a tan cushion sits behind a white draped table decorated with yellow and red flowers. Two cream armchairs with matching footstools flank it, with microphones on stands, electric fans, and a laptop on a small wooden side table at right. A red and beige patterned rug covers the floor, and a dark blue curtain forms the backdrop under stage lights. A partially visible head appears at the bottom edge. The seats are unoccupied, and no one is on stage.
