The image is a still from a video showing a scene on a stage. There are five people: two adults in white, appearing to be mime artists (one wearing a headscarf, the other a hat), a young girl in a light-colored shirt, and an elderly couple, the man slightly hunched and the woman beside him. The scene suggests a performance or play, possibly dealing with themes of age, youth, and perhaps the passing of time or generational differences. The dark backdrop emphasizes the figures in the foreground.

What is ageism?

In this short video, Australians describe what ageism is & how it harms us all

A portrait painting depicts an older woman, seemingly middle-aged, with a serene expression.
The composition focuses on the woman's head and upper torso, filling the frame. Her posture is direct, and her gaze is straightforward, suggesting a calm demeanor. The lighting is soft and diffused, emphasizing the texture of the paint and highlighting the subject's features subtly.
The subject is a mature woman with a calm expression, her eyes appear to be looking directly at the viewer. She is dressed in period-appropriate attire, wearing a white cap and a lace-like collar.There is a closed caption which says "We'll admire this painting of an older woman, but ignore the older person who lives next door."
