The image shows the upper body of a person in a profile view facing right. The person wears a bonnet with a detailed patterned fabric and a bow. Their facial features include a prominent nose and curly hair under the bonnet. The attire is a garment with visible folds. They are wrapped in what seems to be a shawl or scarf, with no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, with dark shading. The portrait is in a circular frame, and below it, there is handwritten text on a brown strip reading "Mrs. Smith. Allen."
