Portrait of a Lady

George Harvey

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The oval-shaped black-and-white portrait image shows a woman with dark hair that features a center part on top of her head and curls on the sides framing her face. She has dark eyes and is wearing hoop earrings. A white dress with puffy sleeves covers her upper body. A thin necklace hangs around her neck. Her gaze looks slightly to her right. The background of the image displays shades of gray.
