Black and white portrait of a woman. The woman has dark hair curled and braided on the sides. Her hairline is framed by curls. The woman has light eyes. She wears a white dress with puffy sleeves. The dress has a low neckline and a wide belt. Dark fabric covers her arms. The portrait is surrounded by a light-colored mat and a dark frame. The frame is in a case, which appears to be made of leather. The case is open, revealing the portrait. The background behind the case is white.
