Portrait of a Lady

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white portrait of a woman. The woman has dark hair parted down the middle and pulled into two low braids on either side of her head. The woman has light-colored eyes and thin eyebrows. The woman's mouth is slightly open with a thin upper lip and a fuller lower lip. The woman wears a dark top with a boat neckline. The portrait shows the woman from the shoulders up and she faces slightly to the right. The portrait has a textured gray background. The portrait sits in a dark frame with a recessed area around the portrait. The frame appears to be rectangular with slightly raised edges and a small clasp on the right side.
