Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. They have a prominent nose and lips, and their hair is styled in loose waves under a reddish-brown headscarf. They are wearing an elaborate dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, featuring puffy sleeves with ruffled cuffs. The dress is adorned with a pattern of vertical lines and small, red floral motifs. Underneath the dress, they are wearing patterned trousers, and green pointed shoes. The person is also wearing medium-sized black earrings. The background is a plain light color, and there is a smaller sketch of a hat and head within the upper left corner.
