The image shows a profile view of a person, with only the upper body visible, depicted within an oval frame. The person is facing to the right, with curly hair styled away from the face. They wear a band around their head, and their facial features are prominent, including a noticeable nose and slightly parted lips. The person is dressed in an elaborate outfit with visible ruffles, particularly a high-collared garment that appears to be part of a draped fabric, like a shawl or cloak. The background is plain, focusing on the individual. At the bottom is the text, "Mrs Wm Deaton," written in cursive.
