Three headshots of women appear in a row. The woman at left has long brown hair and is sitting at a desk; the woman in the middle has reddish-brown curly hair and wears black-rimmed glasses; the woman at right has dark brown curly hair and her hands are folded in front of her. They all smile and look directly at the camera. Banner for American Art Curators in Conversation
