Brief Description

Half-length portrait of a woman in a dark dress, hat, and pearl necklace, looking forward

Detailed Description

A black and white, half-length portrait depicts a woman facing slightly to the viewer's right, with her head turned to look directly forward. Her skin appears light against her dark clothing and the plain, dark background. She wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat that covers her hair, with a lighter, possibly ruffled, trim visible beneath the brim. A white, ruffled collar encircles her neck, above which a pearl necklace with a single drop pearl is visible. A long, dark chain drapes from her neck, crossing over her chest and extending down the front of her dark dress. The dress features prominent puffed sleeves at the shoulders that taper down to her wrists. Her hands are partially visible at the bottom of the frame, appearing light-colored with what seem to be white cuffs. Her face is oval-shaped with dark eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth with a faint smile. The background is a simple, textured dark gray.
