Detailed Description
A full-length, black and white portrait depicts a standing woman against a plain, light gray background, framed by a dark, patterned border. The woman is positioned centrally, facing slightly to the viewer's left, with her head turned to the right. Her right arm is raised, with her hand near the side of her head, appearing to adjust her hair. Her left arm is held lower, with her hand resting on the front of her long, flowing robe. The robe is adorned with a scattered, dark pattern, possibly floral or abstract, and opens at the chest, revealing her upper torso. Her hair is styled in a large, dark bun on top of her head, with a thin, dark decorative pin visible. Her face is light, with downcast eyes and a small mouth. Her feet are visible at the bottom of the robe, with one foot slightly forward. Faint vertical text is visible on the left side of the robe, near her left arm. The dark border surrounding the image features a repeating, intricate pattern of leaves or abstract shapes.
