William Paul Childers

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a standing individual from the upper three-quarters view. The person has a straight posture, facing forward. They have large wide-open eyes, a straight nose, and closed lips. The individual has dark hair that is neatly styled and parted in the center. They are wearing a voluminous white dress with ruffled edges at the neckline and cuffs, featuring a textured pattern. The sleeves are long and full, and the skirt is expansive and drapes to suggest fullness. The person is also wearing brown gloves. The background is plain and light beige.
