Black and white oval portrait of a woman in a dark dress. The woman has dark hair parted down the middle and pulled back on either side of her head. The dress has a low neckline and is gathered at the chest. The portrait is set against a dark background and is framed in a square frame with a lighter border. The frame appears old and worn.
