Portrait of a Lady

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a black-and-white portrait titled "Portrait of a Lady" by an unknown artist. The portrait depicts a woman centered in the frame. She has curly, light-colored hair and wears a white bonnet and a frilly white collar on her dark-colored dress. The portrait itself is surrounded by a beaded border and then a larger ornate frame. The frame appears cracked in the corners.
