Tie-back

Helen Bronson

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a round medallion featuring a side profile of a woman's head and neck. The woman faces left with classic facial features and hair styled back with a decorative element resembling a wreath. The background is plain and light-colored, possibly indicating a flat surface. Faint inscriptions below the image read "Helen Branson" twice, with "1891" underneath the second signature.
