Oval-shaped black and white portrait of a woman. The woman has dark hair parted in the center and pulled back, with curled side braids hanging down alongside her face. She wears an off-the-shoulder dark dress with a brooch at the top. The portrait is encased in an ornate oval frame with a loop at the top. The frame features a leaf-like pattern etched into the metal. The background behind the woman appears light-colored and out of focus.
