The head and shoulders of a young woman with pale skin and long hair nearly fill this vertical, sepia-toned photograph. Shown against a dark background, she looks directly at us. Her nose is straight and her lips closed. Wavy curls piled over her forehead suggest that her hair is partially pulled back or pinned up around her oval face, and it falls behind her shoulders. Her garment has wide lapels and is worn over patterned clothing.
