Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a dark dress and cap, holding papers, within an ornate oval frame

Detailed Description

A black and white oval portrait is set within an ornate oval frame. The outer frame is dark-toned, possibly wood or metal, and features intricate carvings. Along its outer edge, there is a repeating pattern of small beads. At the top and bottom, decorative elements resembling leaves and berries flank a small crest-like motif. An inner, plain oval border, lighter in tone, separates the ornate frame from the central portrait. The portrait itself depicts a woman from the waist up, seated and facing slightly to the viewer's right, with her gaze directed forward. She wears a dark, high-necked, long-sleeved dress. A light-colored cap covers her hair, which appears to be pulled back. Her face is oval-shaped, with light-toned skin, light eyes, a straight nose, and a small, closed mouth. Her right hand rests on a stack of papers or a book held in her lap, and she holds a pen or pencil. The background behind her is a light, cloudy sky.
