The image depicts a portrait of a person in a small locket. The portrait shows the person from the shoulders up, facing the viewer with a slight angle. The individual has fair skin, dark hair styled neatly around the head, and is wearing a dark garment with a white lace collar. The person has gold earrings and a jeweled brooch at the neck. The portrait is encased in an ornate round metal frame with a floral or leaf design, with a hinged metal cover opened to reveal the portrait. The background of the portrait is plain, and the locket is set against a black background.
