Her hair is styled back and covered by a transparent veil. She is wearing a blouse with a high collar and a bow at the neck. The background shows blurry, organic shapes resembling foliage. At the bottom of the portrait is a sketch of a hummingbird near a flower with the name Frederick W. Freer inscribed.
