Oval-shaped portrait of a woman. The woman has fair skin, blue eyes, and short brown hair styled in a curly updo. She wears a dark-colored dress with puffy sleeves and a white ruffled collar. The portrait is set against a light blue and gray background. The frame is gold with an ornate design featuring leaves and flowers. A small loop at the top of the frame appears to be for hanging. The woman's gaze is directed to the right of the viewer.
