Black and white portrait of a woman. The woman has dark hair styled up and away from her face. She wears a white dress with thin straps and a low neckline. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight material and has a gathered bodice. Her hands are clasped in front of her. She looks to her right. The background is dark and appears to be an outdoor setting with a column and foliage.
