The image shows a side profile of a woman's upper body, capturing her from the chest up. She is positioned facing to the right with her head slightly tilted upward. Her facial features are defined with a prominent nose, and she has a serene expression. Her hair is covered by a large, voluminous cap with decorative lace edges. She is wearing a garment with a high collar, which is adorned with a ruffled trim and patterned fabric. The background of the image is a simple, dark, circular shape. At the bottom of the image, "Mrs. Norton" is handwritten, along with the name and location of the artist.
