Camera Work: Lady Ruthven

David Octavius Hill

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a woman in a long dress and hat viewed from behind. The woman wears a long-sleeved dress with a striped pattern and a lace shawl or overlay. A white collar is visible around her neck. Her hat is round and flat-topped. She stands in a room with a table or desk to her right and a chair or other piece of furniture to her left. The background includes a patterned wall hanging or tapestry. The woman appears to be standing in front of the hanging. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal or Victorian-era setting.
